A seasoned Nollywood actor, Femi Brainard shares insights into his life post-departure from the entertainment industry as he moved abroad.
The actor disclosed in a recent interview with Teju Babyface that he had to start driving in America to support his family, even though he was a superstar.
Brainard revealed this portion of his life during the conversation about his post-entertainment adventures.
Speaking on the advantages and disadvantages of moving abroad, he emphasized that “As a celebrity, it’s preferable to be a prominent figure in Nigeria than to travel abroad and become unrecognized”
“I became a cab driver in America just to put food on the table. Whenever people see me, especially Nigerian passengers, they often stare at me in disbelief, wondering if I’m indeed the familiar star they recognize.
“America does not recognize your stardom, nor does it respect your celebrity.”
