Veteran actor Olu Jacobs has turned 82, just weeks after being the subject of false death rumors on social media.
His wife, actress Joke Silva, paid tribute to him to celebrate this milestone.
Early on Thursday, Joke shared a video on Instagram showcasing her husband during his youthful days, as well as a clip of him admiring his housecoat.
Joke prayed for her husband that he would continue to enjoy good health.
“82 just like that. Agba ko ni nira l’agbara Jesu…Happy birthday and have an amazing year ahead me darling… Sir J of life @_olujacobs (loving his customized house coat …thanks a mill @thegardentheatre Tosin Otudeko),” she wrote.
Recall that Last month, Olu Jacobs was rumoured dead on social media.
The family however released videos to debunk the rumour.
In a 19-second video, Olu is seen getting his beard shaved while his son informs him about the rumour of his death. The actor appeared surprised about it.
Soji Jacobs, son of the veteran actor, spoke to Gossipinfoinfo on the phone as the false news of his father’s death was trending on social media.
According to Soji, “The family is tired of this rumour that keeps recurring every year.”
