Nollywood actor and film producer, Kunle Afolayan, recently delighted his fans by introducing his children.
The renowned producer of “Anikulapo” took to his Instagram page to proudly showcase his blessings.
In a heartwarming gesture, he shared photos featuring his four children and lovingly referred to them as “Awon Temi,” meaning “my own” in Yoruba.
Kunle Afolayan sheds light on his daughter, Eyiyemi’s role in the film “Anikulapo.”
According to a report by Naijalegit last year, Kunle Afolayan shared the reasons behind casting his daughter, Eyiyemi Afolayan, for the role of Princess Omowunmi in his film “Anikulapo.”
In a short video clip posted on his verified Instagram handle, Kunle Afolayan expressed that the role required someone beautiful, and his daughter certainly fit the description. He also mentioned that Eyiyemi possesses natural acting skills and is a talented singer.
Eyiyemi, being Kunle Afolayan’s first child, made her acting debut on the set of “Anikulapo.”
Kunle Afolayan remarked, “If you want to portray the role of a princess, I think there is no given that the person has to be beautiful, and she is beautiful. It felt good because I did not have to pay her, even though I was paying her directly or indirectly.”
When asked about her portrayal of Princess Omowunmi in the movie, Eyiyemi shared, “Omowunmi is very foolish because Saro never proposed love to her, but she already started having ideas in her head. She is beautiful, no doubt, but also gullible.”
