Okanlawon, who is presently the most elevated earning Nollywood entertainer, spread the word about this in a meeting with entertainer and show have, Lilian Afegbai, distributed on Tuesday.
The dad of-two noticed that he doesn’t permit his day to day life to influence his vocation as well as the other way around, adding that he focuses completely on the two parts of his life.
Okanlawon expressed, “Talking about balancing family life and work life, I don’t believe in balancing the two. Depending on what I’m doing, I’m 100 per cent present.
“If I’m on set or filming, my people know that I’m 100% there and they respect that enough not to even stress me out. But when I’m at home, I’m 100% at home. I enjoy and maximise my time. I give everybody what they want.
“In this industry, you have to build a structure around yourself because a lot will come at you. Sometimes, when I’m filming, they may want to give me a place to stay – to their advantage – so that you can come on set within the shortest possible time.
“But I have a rule. As long as I’m filming in Lagos, I always go home the same day.”
Okanlawon noticed that he needed to avoid home, notwithstanding, due to a film he did on aggressive behavior at home.
“There was a time I went to do a film on domestic violence. I was raised never to hit a woman but to get into that character, I had to remove that restraint that was in my head,” the Blood Sisters star said.
He proceeded, “I called home to tell them I cannot come home for the next three days. I stayed three days after that film before I could go home.”
Prior, the entertainer had uncovered how acting in Nigeria’s Netflix unique series, Blood Sisters, impacted him intellectually.
In the series, which was delivered toward the beginning of May, Deyemi went about as Kola Ademola, an oppressive accomplice who mistreated his casualties as a hobby.
