His father is a legendary actor, Oga Bellow, but Femi Adebayo has gone from living under the shadow of his father to creating an niche for himself in the Yoruba movie industry.

Just like the likes of Emeka Ike and Ramsey Nouah who are seen as Nollywood lover boys, Femi is one of the leading hunks of the Yoruba films who plays romantic scenes well to a fault. He also tells whoever cares to listen that he is just an actor who strives to interpret his roles as best as he could and doesn’t mind acting gay roles as many times as it comes.

“I can act gay roles. Why not? I can play any role given to me. I don’t have restrictions, as a good actor I must be able to interpret any script given to me. After all it is make-believe, it has nothing to do with who you really are. For an instance, I am a Muslim but I have had to play the role of a pastor many times over,” he assured.

In as much as his wife doesn’t complain about his job, there is a level of tolerance any woman can manage. Every woman has her threshold of tolerance.

“I am lucky I have a wife who understands my job but I try as much as possible not to overstep my boundaries when it comes to the opposite sex.”

He also talks about the most embarrassing thing a female fan has done to him.

“Ah, she jumped on me, kissed me and told me that she had promised herself that whenever she sees me she was going to do that to me. Fortunately, I was with my wife that day and I told her I was sorry and she said it was okay. It’s one of those anxious moments of our job. Before the fan left she apologised to me and to my wife.”
