Veteran Nollywood actor, Richard Mofe Damijo, recently revealed during a broadcast interview with Africa Magic’s magazine TV show ‘Jara’, on how much movie producers pay him to feature in a movie and his response was rather surprising!
“It’s safe to say you’re definitely one of the most sought after and respected actors in Nollywood, it must cost a producer millions of dollars to have you in his movie”, The host of the show Uti Nwachukwu asked RMD. RMD replied saying: “I don’t know what you are talking about, I mean we are in Nigeria”.
He went further: I find ironical that I cost a lot less either because I’m blackmailed constantly by producers and directors. They’re my boys or their younger, no money. You’ll be amazed that for every three films, I’ll probably do two free, practically for next to nothing. It’s just hard to say no”.
Just so you know Geneveive Nnaji, Funke Akindele, Omotola Ekeinde and Mercy Johnson are the highest paid in the industry!
