However, Faniran also acknowledged that his success is not solely based on looks. He highlighted the importance of continuous effort to enhance his acting skills, expressing his aspiration to be a versatile actor capable of delivering convincing performances across various roles. Despite recognizing the impact of his physical appearance, he emphasized the need for substance and skill in the competitive world of acting.

Let’s say my looks have contributed to the kind of roles I get. I am six feet four inches. I’m really tall and I have broad shoulders. I am dark-skinned as well. Those things, put together, already make me a super attractive personality for TV. If you see me on the screen, even without me talking, you would love to look at me.

We (actors) must attract the viewers to what we are showcasing, whether it’s storytelling, reality, or whatever it is. However, that’s not all there is to it. There are good-looking people on TV who are not good actors. I want to be a proper and versatile actor that can deliver, whether as a mechanic, farmer, or headmaster.”
