Funke Akindele<\/figcaption><\/figure>
\nName: Akindele Olufun
\nke Ayotunde Address: 7, Ebun street, Abule Oja, Yaba, \tLagos State
\nDate of Birth: 24th August, 1976
\nMarital Status: Single
\nState of Origin: Ikorodu, Lagos State
\nLanguages Spoken: Yoruba and English
\nEDUCATIONAL BACKGROUND:
\nAcademic and Actors School, Grace Children School, Gbagada, Lagos state, \tLagos State Model Colleg, Igbo Kuta, Ikorodu, Ogun State Polytechnic Ojere, \tAbeokuta (Mass Com), University of Lagos, Akoka, Yaba (Law).
\nMy growing up was wonderful. Though a bit of rascality but my parents were \tthere to put me on the right path. I have an elder sister and two younger \tones; a boy and a girl. I\u2019m the 2nd born. I grew up in Folagoro, Lagos. My \tparents are Mr. & Mrs. (Dr.) Akindele and my siblings include Akinkunle, \tAbimbola and Ayoola.
\nI started as an I.T. Student with Advertising Practitioners Council of \tNigeria (APCON) and my first earning was N5,000. I vet the advertisements \tbefore it is placed on air.
\nLiz Benson was a major inspiration in me getting into the movie industry. My \tfirst major role was an act as \u2018Bisi\u2019, a teenager undergoing sex education. \tIn a TV series called \u201cI need to know\u201d sponsored by United Nations.
\nMy success so far can be attributed to constant practice and so far, I have \tacted in many films but some notable ones include \tAtlanta, Final \twhistle, Egg of life, Ojo ketala, Okan Soso, Big Boys.
\nThese roles can be sometimes very demanding as it requires proper study of \tthe scripts and rapid ability to get into characters. But you see, I have \tthe best crew at location giving the film the quality that attract lots of \tadmirers across the globe.
\nActing is interesting and getting more and more lucrative, so there\u2019s not been any major reason why I\u2019d have quit. Besides, there is the joy that I am exhibiting what God has given to me. I do some producing and that requires more effort but as an actress you only go there to act. Producing is also very good anyway as it makes one versatile in the sense that it gives additional to what one does.
\nI would like to add more international feathers to my wings, shooting with other artists in the movie making countries. I also look forward to better improvements and high technical and international standards for Nollywood. In my spare time, I work on the computer. I also enjoy listening to R & B, rap and Gospel. R. Kelly music. My movie idols include Wesley Snipes, Samuel L. Jackson.
\nI hope all my fans keep loving me and appreciating me. And I will always love and appreciate in return. I will continue the good works I have been doing, making them happy and entertained. Have a great day!
