Popular Actor Lateef Adedeji To Star As Bola Tinubu In Biopic
Lateef Adedimeji will bring Bola Tinubu’s story to life in Seun Oloketuyi, “Last Man Standing,”
In the upcoming biography, the president-elect’s academic struggles and political scandals, such as the Babatunde Raji Fashola case, will be portrayed.
In an interview with Premium Times, the Nollywood actor described how he played the part.
He said “People thought I could not act as Tinubu because of his serious personality. But I always tell them that I should be able to fit into any character as an actor. An actor should be flexible. It is basically about understanding who the person is and sinking yourself into that character,” he said.
“I did not have a one-on-one encounter with Tinubu before I was able to act like him in a movie. Several documentaries about him exist, and I had to study how he speaks, interviews, and the like. I had to do my homework by sieving through all the available materials, and then I was good to go on and deliver.”
