Nollywood actor Lateef Adedimeji has been left star-struck after meeting veteran Nkem Owoh ‘Osuofia’.
On his Instagram page, he shared an adorable video of the moment he met the veteran on a movie set. In the clip, Nkem was seen sitting on a sofa when Lateef approached him, bowing, and the two exchanged pleasantries.
In his caption, he expressed how honoured he was to have finally met him, describing him as an icon. He noted how his immense talent and enduring legacy have reshaped Nollywood forever, always bringing a uniquely memorable and special feeling. Lateef re-emphasised that Nkem’s impact on the industry is timeless and will never be forgotten.
Raining prayers on him, Lateef wished him a sound health and a happy life, expressing gratitude for all he has done and continues to do for Nollywood.
“It was an honour to meet the legendary Nkem Owoh @osuofia_nkemowoh on set.
Working alongside such icons, whose immense talent and enduring legacy have reshaped Nollywood forever, always brings a uniquely memorable and special feeling. Sir Nkem Owoh’s impact on the industry is timeless and will never be forgotten.
Wishing you sound health and a happy life. Thank you for all you have done and continue to do for Nollywood, our great ancestor @osuofia_nkemowoh
My able Director @itsjblaze is always a pleasure, brother”.
Back in March, Lateef had reflected on his journey, which he admitted wasn’t smooth. However, that’s what makes the triumphs sweet, hence why his heart can’t be filled with gratitude.
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.
