Nollywood actor Jide Awobona has slammed a famous film director and screenwriter Abiodun Jimoh, better known as Abey Jomo, for his extreme transformation demands.

Jide, who has a leading role in the movie Inspector Jero, was instructed by the director to follow a strict diet regimen.

Jide shared a screenshot of his conversation with Abey, in which he was instructed to fast until sunset, refrain from drinking until 7 PM, and eat only a slice of watermelon in the morning.

The director wanted Jide to have a gaunt appearance and a hungry look for his character.

Jide was taken aback by these strict rules and turned to Instagram to seek assistance, expressing his shock.

He wondered about the consequences of his actions and felt regretful about the restrictions he had to follow, all because he had a desire to create a film.

“Help Help Help
Because I decided to make a film, see what Abiodun Jimoh did to me. Check the slides.
WHAT HAVE I DONE TO YOU @abeyjomo”.

Many people praised the director for his change in the comment section.

Mustapha Sholagbade commented, “That’s the spirit mate, keep it burning. @abeyjomo thank you for always

Mo Bimpe commented, “I almost didn’t recognize Murasi o”.

Bakare Zainab commented, “Well down Jide. So glad we made this together”.

Moyo Lawal commented, “Actor. I love it”.

Paschaline Alex commented, “Actor”.

One, I Am Certified Eyinjueledumare commented, “Abey Jomo is a very detailed director when given the time and authority as it should be”.

Another person, Kebamz Olaoye commented, “Oluwa o. That’s what we’re talking about. Well done actor”.

Seyi Akinsola commented, “What actors do to bring joy to people”.

Similarly, Bukunmi Oluwasina has demonstrated her dedication to her movie roles by shaving her head and going on a strict diet.

She believes that in her ten years as an actor, this particular role has been the most challenging and exhilarating.

Despite the difficulties, she is proud to have embraced it wholeheartedly.

Last year, Jide Awobona faced his fears and expressed his happiness about it.

He shared pictures of himself in a hospital bed, celebrating his triumph over his fears, although he acknowledged that it was not an easy journey.

In other news, Awobona defended his colleague, Adanma Luke, who was facing criticism for the death of Junior Pope and others.

He emphasized that such unfortunate incidents could happen to anyone in the Nollywood industry.

He also pointed out that in the industry, refusing to comply with certain demands often leads to being labeled as difficult and unprofessional.
