Actor and filmmaker Femi Adebayo, recently shared the moment he decided to pursue acting as his primary career, leaving behind his legal profession.
Adebayo, who holds a Master's Degree in Law from the University of Ibadan, revealed that he was practicing law and earning N20,000 monthly, while acting was merely a hobby.
However, in an interview with Pulse, he recounted receiving an acting offer that paid N50,000 for just three days of work.
He said: "Honestly speaking, that was when I started working as a lawyer.
My salary then was just N20,000 on a monthly basis And acting was a hobby for me all this while. So not until they invited me for acting roles, they were ready to pay me N50,000 for three days. And as a lawyer, I was getting N20,000 for one month. I said, Femi, this acting is your calling. That was when I decided that I would abandon law practice and face entertainment fully."
