If most other people see seasoned actor, Ramsey Nouah, the way actress Adunni Ade sees him, he is likely to end up in paradise.
Her impression of him is so flowery that one cannot but envy him.
Adunni Ade expressed her deep admiration for him as she recollects how she got into Nollywood.
According to her, he inspired her to relocate to Nigeria.
Her perspectives abut him border on Ramsey Nouah the actor, director and human being.
In a recent episode of Hip TV’s Trending, Adunni revealed how she met Nouah in 2011 and confided in him about her aspirations and how his words encouraged and gave her the confidence to make the move.
“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”, she said.
After years of admiring Nouah from afar, Ade said she finally worked with him on set, describing the experience as “phenomenal.”
She praised Nouah’s professionalism, creativity, and humanity.
“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.”
Since moving to Nigeria in 2011, Ade has appeared in over 250 Nollywood films in both English and Yoruba languages.
