Nollywood actor, Chinedu Ikedezie aka Aki has been one of the most awe inspiring actors in thecountry since he made his grand break through in 2001.

In an exclusive interview with TS Weekend , the entertainer took time off to gist about his marriage and dreams.


How did you get into Nollywood?

That was in my first year at IMT in 1998. Before then I was in the Debating & Dramatic Society. However, before I got into school I had acted in one or two movies so when I got into IMT, I approached those already in the know. I was like guys, I want to be like you; I want to be part of this world. I had watched both foreign and local films and seen people doing extra ordinary things and so I said to myself ‘Chinedu, one dayit would be your turn to do same.’

Didn’t you experience any discrimination on account of your size?

No, my IQ made up for whatever I was lacking. My first role was that of a seven year-old boy and I delivered and the director and producers were like wow!

How did you meet your friend, Pawpaw, Osita Iheme?

He came into the industry three years later in 2001. I was in schoolthen and we had a job so he had this opportunity to shoot in Enugu. He had just started acting then. We met in the hotel lobby where we were lodged. We talked and I discovered he was a very shy fellow. Before then Amayo Uzor had been telling me that ‘Chinedu, just hang on, there is boy I have seen that looks just like you and guess what, he is in the industry and I am working on a script for the both of you.’ After our meeting, they called us and gave us scripts; that was the first time I did pure comedy. The movie was entitled Aki Na Ukwa. Lately unlike in the past, you guys no longer hang out together like you used to.

What is happening?

We started doing movies in September 2001 anduntil 2008 or 2009, we were paired together. I don’t think there is anything bad if we do separate jobs now. I was there three years before him and even when we were pairing, we also did our own personal stuff where we were featured separately. Somebody could come and say I want Aki for this job or I want Pawpaw; we were free to do whatever we wanted.

Tell us about the craziest things female fans have done to you?

I like them and they like me. Yes, they are my friends. I know they love me and so they will notkill me. At worst, they will kiss me and go. I am not dating any of my female fans.

How do you react when they kiss you?

I react in such a way that they feel happy and I go my way. A lot of times they are like ‘we love you, could we have your autograph and I sign.’
Where do you sign?
