Nonso Diobi, a well-known Nollywood actor, has spoken out about the cause of his long absence from the Nigerian entertainment industry.
This was revealed in a recent interview with HipTV by the actor, who was a well-known figure in the movie business for more than ten years and appeared in a number of blockbuster films before taking a protracted break.
He added that he took time off in order to broaden his knowledge and his skill set in order to provide his followers something fresh and intriguing.
Speaking further, Nonso said he has transitioned from acting to filmmaking, directing and producing his own movies, stating that he currently has two movies in the works.
In his words,
“So basically I put it this way. I always take time off to acquire more knowledge, to become something else in entertainment, and also to keep giving my fans what they want. And basically that’s why I’ve been off the scene for a while and I am coming back with a bang.
“Right now, I have two movies in the works and I will be making it known to the public pretty soon. At the moment, I can officially tell you that I am a filmmaker also, not just the regular Nonso Diobi movie star that you know.
“So I’m also into directing now. I’m producing my own movies, and very soon, the fans will really understand why I took some time off. Because entertainment is my life.”
