Popular Nollywood actor, Desmond Elliot talks about his films, his lifestyle and more with Ademola Olonilua and Kemi Vaughan
Why did you bet on your new movie, The Place?
I was not joking when I said if fans did not enjoy my movie, I would return their money. Someone tweeted at me and said he did not like it. I said to him, ‘Okay, tell me which areas you don’t like and I will refund your money’. So I’m waiting for his reply. Instead, he retweeted what I said to him. I just feel we have got to where we should be able to say, ‘this is good, you guys can watch it’. We just thought that the movie, The Place, which is a comedy flick would lighten your mood. I decided to make a comedy flick because comedy sells if it is good. Trying to be funny is probably one of the worst things. You must differentiate between humour and comedy. It is
one thing to be humorous and another thing to add a comic feel to whatever it is you are doing. These are two separate things. Comedy sells.
Sex also sells, can you do a sex movie?
