“Every Role I Take In Movies Is A Significant Sacrifice” – Gabriel Afolayan Reveals

Nollywood actor and singer Gabriel Afolayan has expressed that he makes significant sacrifices for each role he undertakes in films.

In a conversation with Saturday Beats, the talented performer emphasized that acting requires both passion and commitment to achieve excellence, which often leads others to recognize and commend one’s efforts.

He said, “Acting demands that one pours one’s heart into every role one plays. It is passion and dedication that will make one excel, prompting people to say one is always doing great work. I wouldn’t say there’s one thing that has made me sacrifice so much. Every role I take on is, in itself, a significant sacrifice.”

Speaking further, Gabriel said he is doing music for the love of it and not necessarily for money, “I do music for the love of it. It’s translating based on that. Because if you are doing it for the other one (money), that is when you start putting yourself under pressure. If you are doing it for the love of it, it will resonate because what you are trying to communicate will always show up. So, I do it for the passion and it is translating into money.”

On the impact of his acting career on his music, he said, “They complement each other because it is still the same entity representing both. Whatever I do, it’s all under the same Gabriel Afolayan brand.”
