“I’m Happy I Now Have Haters”- Actor Timini Egbuson Says

Popular Nollywood actor, Timini Egbuson is all shades of smiles as he has finally got the haters he has been wishing for.

In an interview with Sunday Scoop, he said that people feel he is being stereotyped. To him, success without haters means someone has not really gotten to the top.

He said,

“People that feel I am being stereotyped have probably not watched all my movies. I have done over 60 movies. How many have they watched? When you find out how many they have watched, you would realise that they have not seen half of the movies I have starred in. I don’t think there is any character my colleagues have acted that I have not played. I have acted as a bad boy, poor boy, rich boy, lover boy, ‘yahoo boy’ and others. A few years ago when I didn’t have haters or trolls, I was very worried. I knew that success without haters meant that one was not really on top. Now that the haters are coming out and I am hearing these other opinions, it just makes me happy.”

He further added that his success did not come in a day as he has been in the Nollywood industry for 11 years.

“I have been in Nollywood for 11 years. From years of not being given AMVCA invites to getting nominated and winning. I don’t think that is a fast rise. I went through every step required. I once attended an audition of 4,000 people in Surulere, Lagos. I have experienced many rejections. Anybody that thinks it’s a fast rise is just myopic”, he said.
