Adunni Ade, a Nollywood celebrity, has expressed respect for her colleague Ramsey Nouah.
In a recent episode of the Hip TV show Trending, hosted by reality celebrity KimOprah, Ade said that she has always liked the legendary actor.
She revealed that he was behind her choice to leave her career as a model in America and come to Nigeria.
She stated, “He [Ramsey Nouah] was the one who gave me approval to relocate to Nigeria. I met him before coming to Nigeria and told him about my aims and desires. And he gave me a very good pep talk, so I moved down.
“Imagine not having the opportunity to work with him since 2011. And this is someone you’ve long admired. Then, at a film festival, I saw him and went to exchange pleasantries as usual.
“The next day, I received a call from his very close friend, producer Chris, who asked, ‘Adunni, what did you offer Ramsey to eat? Ramsey just cast you.
“I got goosebumps.” I was delighted to work with him on set. He is very different while he is working. I’ve been included in another project alongside him. That is something I am unable to share at this time. I’ve seen Ramsey Nouah as a human being, a director, and a co-actor. “He is simply a phenomenal human being.”
Adunni Ade relocated to Nigeria in 2011.
She received her first Nollywood role in the Yoruba-language film ‘You or I’ in 2013.
She has appeared in over 250 Nollywood films in both English and Yoruba languages.
