I tell my wife before I act romantic roles-Funsho Adeolu

Nollywood actor, Funsho Adeolu-Adegeye and his wife, Victoria have been married for eight years. They talk about their marriage Are you an actress?Victoria: No, I am an On-Air-Personality and I am not entirely new to the entertainment industry. How did you meet your wife?Funsho: I met her at Zeb Ejiro's office. Then she worked behind the camera. We started as friends and here we are today. We have been married for eight years. What was the attraction?Funsho:She was very simple and original. No make- up, no special hairdo and she wore very decent clothes. She just looked very African and that was the attraction for me. Was wooing her difficult?Funsho: She gave me a slightly tough time because she kept dodging me but hard as she tried to evade me, God always brought us together one way or the other. I can't explain it but we always met and each time she wanted to run away from me, I was always there to ambush her.  

 How long did you court? Funsho: We courted for eight years. Some people might consider that as a long time but it was a great period in our lives. It was during this time that we discovered that we had so many things in common. For instance, she sings and I do same too. We both love to dance and during our courtship, we were always together. If you saw me and you didn't see her, it only meant she was on her way .She had a good knowledge of my job because she worked with Tunji Bamishigbin. How did he propose to you?Victoria:There wasn't what you would call a formal proposal because we already knew where we were headed. He had always called me his wife, therefore, marriage was more or less a settled issue between us. What made you accept him as your husband?Victoria:I really can't tell. My husband is a very nice person. He is also humble and gentle. There was no way I could have minded getting married to someone in the limelight. At the time we met, he was not as popular as he is now. Besides, I was in the industry and I knew a lot. Even then I knew he was an actor but I was not too conversant with his roles in movies. Now that he is popular, how do you cope?Victoria: When we go out and people say hello to him, it still amazes me. Maybe that is because I don't see him as a star, I see him as my husband and father of my children.
