Femi Adebayo, Nollywood actor, has ignited a wave of reactions after revealing why he dumped his law career for acting.
The movie star who appeared as a guest with his veteran actor father Adebayo Salami on Pulse TV’s Fun Facts, stated that his decision to pursue an acting career was largely driven by financial considerations.
Femi Adebayo candidly revealed that he was previously working as a lawyer, earning a monthly salary of N20,000. However, when he started acting, he earned N50,000 for just three days of work. In his words: “Acting was a hobby for me all this while not until when I go for acting role, they will pay me N50k and as a lawyer I was earning N20k for one month. I said Femi this acting is your calling. That is when I decided that, I will abandon law pratice and face entertainment fully.”
This significant difference in pay led him to conclude that acting was a more lucrative career path, prompting him to leave his law job behind.
