Nollywood superstar, Kunle Remi, in an interview with Punch, stated that the raging COVID-19 pandemic is a blessing to him.
Acknowledging that the infectious disease has had a devastating effect on people and world economies, Remi said the pandemic changed his life in a positive way.
“COVID-19 changed my life because I had more time to look at myself, reflect and connect with what I carry; to connect with the entertainment side of me. Before the COVID-19 pandemic, I was always up and down filming. But all of a sudden I was stripped of all of that. I had to ask myself what else I could offer. During the lockdown, I realized that all I had was my phone, television and the few people around me that we were being isolated together. I just felt the need to entertain people and exercise my skills as an actor. I did not miss being on set because I enjoyed myself at home,” he was quoted as saying.
“I joined TikTok during the lockdown period to showcase my skills as an actor. I had a platform and the time to connect with the entertainment part of me and before I knew it, people crowned me king of TikTok in Nigeria. I was just doing it for fun and I was enjoying myself,” he added.
