Kunle Afod: What I’ve learnt in my 38 years as actor

Kunle Afod says that in his 38 years of experience as an actor and director, he has learnt that “there is no friend or foe anywhere.”

In a chat with NAN on Wednesday, the 51-year-old said nobody should be perceived as a permanent friend or enemy in life.

“Someone believed as a friend can turn to be a traitor and another fellow perceived as an enemy may become instrumental to one’s success,” he said.

“I have been able to learn these two phases of life which everyone should beware of.

“I started acting since 1986 and I have learnt that there are no friends nor foes anywhere. I think it is better for people to be liberal.

“The person you see as your friend might come to stab you and that fellow you see as your enemy might be the person that will help you.”

Afod also disclosed plans to come up with a big screen production this year.

“This year, I am looking toward the big screen. I will also be coming up with new series of the proverbs challenge this year. I like creating contents that are competitive,” he said.

He also advised up-and-coming actors and directors to work toward improving their knowledge of the craft.

“Directors should also be willing to carry out lots of research to improve on their work, upgrade their knowledge from time to time,” he said.
