Nollywood actress Adunni Ade has credited veteran actor Ramsey Nouah for inspiring her to relocate to Nigeria and pursue a career in the film industry.
In a recent episode of Hip TV’s Trending, hosted by KimOprah, Ade shared her admiration for Nouah and disclosed that a conversation with him motivated her to leave her modeling career in America and move to Nigeria.
“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,” she disclosed.
Ade relocated to Nigeria in 2011 and landed her first Nollywood role in 2013, starring in the Yoruba language film “You or I.”
Since then, she has appeared in over 250 Nollywood movies in both English and Yoruba languages.
