Earlier in the year, celebrated musician, actor and video director, Bankole Wellington, set the entertainment scene on fire when he announced his engagement to co-actor, Adesua Etomi. OVWE MEDEME caught up with him at the media screening of ‘The Wedding Party 2’ where he talks about career, marriage, business and other issues.
WHAT attracted you to the part two of The Wedding Party?
I think it wasn’t just about the part two, but it was about the whole process; to be able to rub shoulders with those I consider icons in filmmaking, the RMDs, Aunty Ireti, the Aunty Sholas, the Alibabas; people who are like icons in entertainment in Nigerian history, just the opportunity to stand next to them, to learn from them, and to try the little bit that I know. I just feel very grateful.
At that point you knew you wouldn’t be playing a lead role in this movie, how did you feel?
I don’t know how anybody else sees it, but I’ve always seen The Wedding Party franchise has an ensemble cast.
