In a recent interview with Punch newspaper, actor Adeniyi Johnson talked about several things including his relationship and more. See excerpts below:
Why do you always rock an afro hairstyle?
I think it started with a particular soap opera that I did. Initially, I kept a V-shaped beard but for the soap opera, the director said he would want the beard to grow around my mouth because my face looked younger than the character he wanted to portray. The old school hairstyle is just a personal decision. But I do change my look depending on the role I am interpreting. Generally, I love my afro and my beard. I see that as my trademark. I am more comfortable with it.
Also based on my nature and physique, people always call me a small boy. Often times, they tend to think I am a 26-year-old man.
How come you look this lanky and smallish?
It is hereditary. My father also looks like this. He is in his 60s but he still wears jeans and walks like a very young boy. I am sure I inherited that from him. He dyes his hair and I think that is what is going to set us apart because I would never dye the grey hair on my head except for a movie. In my 30s, the grey hair is coming out gradually. People find it difficult to know my precise age except I tell them because of my youthful looks. I love the way I look even though I go to some places and people call me 'small boy.' When it comes to my face, I may look small but at heart, I know how old I am.
Do you feel bad when people call you small boy?
At times I feel bad but when I think of what I can offer and my accomplishments, I smile within me. A lot of people would look at me and say I am 25 years old and I tell them that was eight years ago. It is the way God made me. At times I feel insulted but I just smile.
Are you happy with the fact that you have grey hair at 32?
Of course, I am. I cannot dye my grey hair. It is not easy to come across this rare gift, how many young people have grey hair in this industry? I love it and I would never dye it except for a movie role. I did not give it to myself; it was a gift from God. The Yoruba call it the 'wisdom hair' and I am glad I have it. It sets me apart from everyone else, it makes me unique and it could be my own trademark. Except my character does not need it, then a make-up artiste has to work on it; otherwise I go everywhere with it and I'm proud. I love the grey hair and I hope it grows fast or stay at a corner like General Diya's own. It commands respect.
How come you did not gain weight even after marriage?
It is because I exercise regularly. It is not because my wife does not cook for me, in fact she loves to cook for me a lot but I exercise every day. I remember an incident that happened in the house a while back. My wife had to pack my jogging kit and hid it. I searched the whole house but I did not find it, I did not know that she hid it in one of the cabinets in the kitchen. Eventually I saw it and she said she hid it because I am not fat and I still jog every day to burn fat. I like to keep fit and I discovered that once an actor gets married, he has tendencies to grow a pot belly and lose shape. Even though I am not muscular, I lift weights too. I also watch what I eat; I cannot eat solid food at night for instance.
Even when I am on location, before anybody wakes up, I would have jogged round the hotel like 8-10 times. It is a part of me now and I have been doing so for years. I am used to it. I wish I could go for Olympics.
What kind of clothes do you feel complement you?
My keyword is comfort. I wear anything that is comfortable. If I am attending a red carpet event and I feel like wearing a T-shirt and jeans, I opt for that. I don't believe we have to break the bank for a red carpet appearance. I wear what I'm comfortable in and it must be able to boost my carriage. I wear what I am proud of so that when I step out, I would feel comfortable enough to talk to my colleagues. Very soon I would be doing strictly African attires, especially on the red carpet. I am an African man.
Is that why you like wearing beads?
Yes, it is part of my trademark, besides I am an African man. I am proud of where I come from. Something on me must show that I am African regardless of where I am. I don't joke with my language. I once met an Italian man and I greeted him in Yoruba. He was confused until I told him the meaning; he also taught me how to greet in his language. I taught him more Yoruba words and we became very good friends. All through the conference, we were best friends.
What is your most priced fashion item?
That would be my body. It is my fashion empire and I don't know what I cannot do with my body when it comes to fashion. I also love wristwatch; it is my fashion fetish and you would hardly find me without a good wristwatch.
Why don't you have tattoos?
I think it is a matter of choice and the day you see me with a tattoo, ear or nose piercing, plaited hair, then you know it is for a movie. I would never inscribe anything on my body; neither would I ever pierce my nose or ear. I do not criticise people doing it but my upbringing would not permit me to do such. I am also a mentor to my children; I have people who look up to me. If I indulge in such, I am not passing the right message across to them. I am not doing it just for me but for the younger generation. I will never do such.
KEEP SCROLLING TO THE END ...WE STILL GOT LOTS MORE .......
Revenge is a Poison meant for others, which we end up swallowing ourselves. Vengence is a Dark Light that blinds all who seek it. Don’t argue with Idiots.. They will bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.
