Talented actor-cum-model Joseph Benjamin is no doubt the rave of the moment in the Nigerian movie industry, where he holds sway as a formidable force.
The talented actor recently emerged winner of the Most Stylish Actor at the City People 7th Fashion and Style Awards. In a recent interview, Benjamin lauds Genevieve Nnaji and reveals his sudden rise to success:
“I will always give credit to Tango With Me, the one I did with Genevieve although I did a couple of movies before that. It was a great move for me and that really put me on the map so to say.
I got an invitation to read for a role by director Mamud Balogun, apparently he had an idea of the kind of character he needed. He showed me the story and I simply fell for it because it was something that bordered on our everyday life that a lot of people shy away from.”
Asked, what was it like for you acting with Genevieve, he said;
“It was a great experience and my first time of acting with her.She is very amazing and down-to-earth. She is professional and she brought out the best in me.
A lot of people think she is a snob and egocentric but that’s a complete opposite of who she really is. She is a thorough professional in what she does that made it a lot easier for me.”
