Widely recognised Nigerian actor Deyemi Okanlawon recently opened up about his fitness journey, attributing his renewed dedication to preserving top physical shape to his friend Pastor Jimmy Odukoya. When Okanlawon first started working out, he frequently did so to be ready for movie parts. However, Pastor Odukoya encouraged him to focus general fitness as a lifestyle, Okanlawon disclosed in an interview with Teju Babyface on the King of Talks podcast.
Okanlawon described how his own metamorphosis was sparked by Pastor Odukoya's commitment to physical training. The actor, who had previously worked out together, described how Odukoya's influence inspired him to aim for a steady state of strength, fitness, and health. He made it clear that his fitness quest is about more than just becoming noticed; it's also about improving himself personally and professionally.
In his observations, Okanlawon emphasised the importance of fitness in his acting profession and how it has changed over time. As vital aspects of his profession, he underlined the significance of preserving voice, emotional expression, and physical wellness. Okanlawon has shifted from irregular workouts related to certain roles to a consistent fitness routine that benefits his general health and improves his on-screen persona.
