Seasoned actor, Yinka Quadri, has said that he has for long been socially okay, to the extent that he has been having a car since as far back as 1982.
He revealed this in an Instagram chat with Gbenga Adeyinka, a comedian, noting that he went into acting not because he was poor.
Quadri said: “I tell people that I started using cars in 1982 and since then, I have never been without a car, not even for one month. It could be a small or big car, but then we were acting for the passion and when one does it for the passion, one dedicates hundred per cent of one’s efforts to it. But today, people see the likes of Funke Akindele, Faithia Balogun and Iyabo Ojo and decide they want to join the industry because of the fame. The passion is missing and that is why the real sense of belonging is not there.”
Quadri noted that he doesn’t reject roles. “I don’t discriminate in acting. I don’t reject roles.”
