Sunday, July 6, 2025 - Nollywood star and producer Femi Adebayo has opened up about the exact moment he chose acting over a career in law.
In an interview with Pulse, the actor revealed he was
earning just N20,000 monthly as a lawyer before an acting gig changed
everything.
“Acting was a hobby for me at the time,” he said. “But then
I got offered N50,000 to act for just three days. Meanwhile, my monthly salary
as a lawyer was N20,000. That was when I said, ‘Femi, this acting is your
calling.’”
That moment made him fully embrace his passion, leaving law
behind to pursue a career in entertainment—one that’s been shaped by his talent
and the legacy of his father, veteran actor Adebayo Salami, popularly known as
Oga Bello.
