In a earlier post, Deyemi opened up on his acting career and winning awards. The thespian, in an interview with Hip TV, said he has never won a major award since he started acting.
He noted that he has stayed long enough in the industry to have clinched such category of awards.
In the interview, Okanlawon, who just welcomed a son, said he used to encourage himself if no one will.
He noted that he would look into the mirror and pat himself on the back just to say he was doing well.
The actor, who released steamy photos for his previous birthday, mentioned that awards shouldn’t determine if he was doing well as an actor or not. According to Deyemi Okanlawon, it should be the other way around.
