Nollywood star Adunni Ade has shared her deep admiration for fellow actor Ramsey Nouah, crediting him with inspiring her move to Nigeria.
In a recent episode of Hip TV’s Trending, hosted by KimOprah, Ade revealed that it was Nouah who motivated her to leave her modeling career in America and pursue acting in Nigeria.
She said, “He (Ramsey Nouah) was the one who gave me confirmation to move to Nigeria. I met him before I came to Nigeria and I told him what my goals and aspirations were. And he gave me a very good pep talk and I moved down.
“Imagine from 2011 never getting to work with him. And this is someone you’ve always admired. Then during a film festival, I saw him and I went to exchange pleasantries as usual.
“The next day, I got a call from the producer Chris, his very good friend, and he said, ‘Adunni, what did you give Ramsey to eat? Ramsey just cast you.’
“I had goosebumps. I was so happy to work with him on set. He is so different when he is working. I’ve been featured in another project with him. I cannot disclose that right now. I have seen him as Ramsey Nouah the human being, Ramsey Nouah the director, and Ramsey Nouah the co-actor. He is just a phenomenal human being.”
Adunni Ade moved to Nigeria in 2011 and landed her first Nollywood role in the Yoruba film ‘You or I’ in 2013. Since then, she has featured in over 250 films in both English and Yoruba.
