He revealed that the loss of his father led to a profound change in his relationship with acting.
“When he passed, it was almost like a chapter had closed. I kind of fell out of love with acting and show business. Quite recently, I started having the feeling like I’ve walked away from my destiny,” said Ogunde.
Speaking about his casting in the trending series, he said, “Less than a year ago, I met Kunle Afolayan in London. We went out for a drink, and it was during that jolly moment that he mentioned he had something coming up and thought I would be wonderful for it.
He said I couldn’t reject it because he heard the voice of my father telling him that I had to be in this movie.”
