Nollywood actor Jide Awobona has criticized well-known screenwriter and film director Abiodun Jimoh, also known as Abey Jomo, regarding his demanding transformation for a role.
The talented actor, who is playing the lead role in the movie “Inspector Jero,” was placed on a strict diet for his character. Sharing a screenshot of his chat with the director, Jide revealed he was instructed to start fasting, avoid eating until sunset, stop drinking until 7 PM, and start eating only a slice of watermelon in the morning.
The director’s goal was for Jide to have sunken eyes and a hungry look. Bewildered by these strict rules, Jide took to Instagram to express his shock and cry for help.
Questioning what he has done to him, he lamented over the rules all because he wanted to make a movie.
“Help Help Help
Because I decided to make a film, see what Abiodun Jimoh did to me. Check the slides.
WHAT HAVE I DONE TO YOU @abeyjomo”.
Taking to his comment section, many applauded the director for his transformation.
