In a recent interview with Nigeria’s Nation
Newspaper, Ghanaian actor, Chris Attoh who just
married his babymama and actress, Damilola
Adegbite at a small ceremony talked about his wife,
career, presence in Nigeria and the mixed feelings
he got when people heard he has married Damilola.
Read excerpts from the interview below:
About his presence in Nigeria, Chris said “Whatever it
is, Nigeria is the LA. You can live in New York, you
can live where you want but if you are on film, you
will probably always fly to LA or Hollywood to do the
work. Nigeria is the LA in these parts. I say that
because if anything is going to happen, the auditions
are here in Nigeria. Most of my work on the
international front has been founded here on
Nigerian soil. And of course,I especially have been
blessed with much from Nigeria including a beautiful
Nigerian wife.”
How he met Damilola on Tinsel, the actor said “Tinsel
has been a huge blessing in my career. It was a
training ground for a lot of the things I’m able to do
today and I’ll always be grateful to MNet for that. On
a personal level, I’m also very grateful because that
is also where I met my beautiful wife and it has been
wonderful since I got married to her. It is like we are
acting every day.”
On his attraction to his babymama, Attoh said “The
attraction to my wife when I first met her is, her
birthday is on the 18th of May while mine is on the
17th. That is the first thing that caught my attention.
I said this must be my sister. If I’m a day before her,
then our thoughts are probably the same and our
desires are the same. We did find out that our
desires are the same. She is an amazing person.
When Dami walks into a room, she steals the
attention so it is very hard not to notice her.
Obviously I was meeting new people, new faces but
she definitely made an impression.”
On reactions to him getting married to Damilola “My
Ghanaian sisters, my Nigerian sisters, my Canadian
sisters, my American sisters were all angry. Don’t
mind me. That is all I’ll say. My reaction is that you
enjoy life until you find that one person who you
decide you will not let go, you want to share the rest
of your life with that person. Unfortunately, it has to
be one person. It beats being whether the person is
Ghanaian or Nigerian or Italian. I was lucky to find
myself a hot, beautiful Nigerian woman. Me, I need
some fire in my life, so there you go.”
