Actor Deyemi Okanlawon recently delved into the dynamics of his marriage and his experiences with fame.
During a recent episode of the Deep Dive podcast hosted by comedian Teju Babyface, Deyemi shared insights into his marriage, revealing that his wife has a unique approach to handling advances from other women.
In a lighthearted manner, Deyemi described his wife as a “look away person,” humorously noting that despite encountering situations where fans attempted to kiss him, his wife has never interrogated him about them.
He explained that his wife intentionally refrains from following him on social media, maintaining a distance from the public aspect of his life.
Reflecting on his journey with fame, Deyemi admitted that he never aspired to be in the spotlight and still finds fame to be a mysterious phenomenon.
Deyemi Okanlawon also mentioned that under different circumstances, he might not have left the corporate sector.
In his own words:
“If look away was a person, that is my baby girl [my wife]. I remember one time I went out with friends and some lady tried to kiss me. Not once has my wife ever questioned me about female fans flirting with me.
“My wife has not been following me on social media for years. She has never followed me on social media.”
He said he never wanted to be an actor, stressing that he struggles to handle fame.
“I don’t understand fame. I have never dreamt of being an actor. If certain things had happened the way I wanted it to happen, I would never have left the cooperate world”
“In 2019, I quit acting. Fame is nothing, impact is everything.”
