Abdulateef Adetola Adedimeji is undeniably an artfully gifted actor that is dedicated to his calling as an actor.
Adedimeji’s skills at interpreting roles and characters has been consistently proven with over 500 characters including four biopics where he just landed a new one that might define his career for life.
The 36-year-old actor and singer’s brilliance and professionalism have landed him a career-defining role in Seun Oloketuyi’s upcoming film, ‘Last Man Standing.’
In a chat with The Nation, the actor admits his role in the upcoming biopic of ex-governor of Lagos State, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, will be one of the defining points in his career.
“Yes, this would be one of the defining points because this is a tough one. At the end of it all, the man himself is going to have a few things to say about my interpretation and pass judgment. That is one thing that has been ringing in my head.”
With five biopics to his credit, Adedimeji says his versatility and ability to key into other people and bring the character to life seem to be the reasons for getting leading roles in biopics.
“I really don’t know why I am always called upon to play these roles. This is going to be my fourth biopic. I did Ayinla, I did Ige, I did Strangers, and now this. I believe it is the versatility and being able to key into other people and bring the character to life. That is you being an actor. Studying other people and making sure that you can drop you at a time you need to play them and bring them into reality,” he submitted.
