Nollywood actress, Adunni Ade has expressed profound admiration for fellow actor Ramsey Nouah, revealing that his influence was instrumental in her decision to relocate to Nigeria from the USA.
In a recent appearance on Hip TV’s Trending, hosted by reality star KimOprah, Ade shared how she has long looked up to the veteran actor. She detailed how Nouah’s encouragement played a crucial role in her career transition.
Adunni Ade explained that his influence was pivotal in her decision to leave her modelling career in the United States and move to Nigeria in 2011. “He [Ramsey Nouah] was the one who gave me confirmation to move to Nigeria. I met him before I came to Nigeria and I told him what my goals and aspirations were. And he gave me a very good pep talk and I moved down,” she said.
She continued, “Imagine from 2011 never getting to work with him. And this is someone you’ve always admired. Then during a film festival, I saw him and I went to exchange pleasantries as usual.”
Adunni Ade further shared, “The next day, I got a call from the producer Chris, his very good friend, and he said, ‘Adunni, what did you give Ramsey to eat? Ramsey just cast you.’” She added, “I had goosebumps. I was so happy to work with him on set. He is so different when he is working. I’ve been featured in another project with him. I cannot disclose that right now. I have seen him as Ramsey Nouah the human being, Ramsey Nouah the director, and Ramsey Nouah the co-actor. He is just a phenomenal human being.”
Adunni Ade made her Nollywood debut in 2013 with the Yoruba film *You or I*. Since then, she has appeared in over 250 movies, in both English and Yoruba languages, establishing herself as a prominent figure in the Nigerian film industry.
