Nollywood actor and filmmaker Lateef Adedimeji is reflecting on his journey.
The talented actor turned producer, via his Instagram page, admitted that while reflecting on his journey, it hasn’t been smooth. However, that’s what makes the triumphs sweet. He stated that this is why his heart can’t be filled with gratitude.
Lateef sent a message to those chasing their dreams. He told them to stay focused, determined, and, most importantly, believe in themselves. He told them to always remember that their dreams are within their reach, and as such, they should put their mind to it and make it happen.
“Reflecting on my journey. I must say, indeed, that Life’s journey isn’t always smooth sailing, but that’s what makes the triumphs so sweet anyway. That’s why my heart cannot not be filled with GRATITUDE!
To anyone chasing their dreams: “Stay focused, stay determined, and most importantly, believe in yourself!” Always remember, “Your dreams are within reach; just put your mind to it and make it happen.”
Early this year, Lateef opened up on his pre-fame journey and marital life. The talented actor, in an emotional sit-down with Chude Jideonwo, recalled how the man who trained him in the Yoruba movie industry told him that he would fail within one year. The movie star stated that he replied to the man, telling him to give him two years, and he would see what he would become.
Last year, Lateef had reflected on the past as he celebrated his growth. Sharing a throwback photo of himself, he stated that his journey over the years was the spirit of not giving up. Lateef stated that if anyone had told him then that he would be what he is today, he would likely throw stones at them.
In another post, he reflected on how he went from being the boy backstage to leading a galaxy of stars in bringing them this masterpiece.
Also, in an interview, the husband of Mo Bimpe reflected on his early career days when he was collecting N4,000 for a lead role and shared the important advice his father gave him.
To add to it, while counting down to his birthday in 2023, Adedimeji revealed that he was once paid N5000 for a lead role. He recounted how he was just a helpless young boy who did his things and made people laugh unintentionally, which led to open doors for him.
