Nollywood filmmaker and actor, Afeez Abiodun, has opened up about his wife, actress Mide Martins, saying her real-life personality is far from the fiery characters she often portrays on screen.
Abiodun, who has been married to Mide for nearly two decades, explained in a recent interview that while audiences may see her act as a tough and confrontational woman in movies, she is in reality calm, gentle, and non-violent.
“She’s the opposite of what people see on TV,” he said. “I have never had any reason to separate her from fighting anyone on set. She would rather get into her car and drive off than engage in any fight.”
The actor further compared her to their colleague, Wunmi Toriola, noting that Wunmi’s real-life personality is closer to the no-nonsense roles she often plays in Nollywood.
“Wunmi’s character is a bit similar to her role in movies,” he added. “If you don’t look for her trouble she won’t fight you, but if you trespass, she will act exactly as you see in movies.”
