Nollywood actor, Lateef Adedimeji, has disclosed that playing the role of Bola Tinubu, ex-Lagos governor, in ‘Last Man Standing’, a forthcoming movie, was scary.
The actor, who spoke about his lead role in the new movie during an interview with NAN on Tuesday, said he initially declined to play the role due to his fear of politics.
Lateef, however, said he eventually accepted the offer as a way of challenging himself.
According to him: “Now, Asiwaju is not a mere politician, he is a stakeholder, a man with a lot going on around him, lots of controversies happening at the same time, and thinking that in the peak of all these is when they want to put this out, I refused,”

“But again, I know that it is going to be another stretch for me as an actor. I am taking this on because I want to challenge myself again; I want to see how far I can push myself.”
He said the movie would give people a better understanding of the former governor’s personality.

He added: “I hope that it is going to be another stepping stone for me in my career. That is basically all I am about. This career is about the most important thing to me now,”
“Am putting lots of effort to see that the movie gets me to another level. I pray that am able to deliver it in a way that people will say, congratulations, you did well.”
