He said, Despite his growing fame, Imo maintained that he preferred to be called an actor, not a celebrity. He said, “For me, it has always been about the work. Like I tell people, I am not a celebrity—I am an actor. I love the work, and when people know me for my work and appreciate it, that’s when it means a lot to me. Not just about being recognised as an actor, but when people can point to the work I did and say it means something to them. That’s fulfillment for me.” “2024 has been the most special year for me. It’s been interesting. I learnt so much, and a lot happened to me, both personally and in my career. I think it was my best year yet. “As for my colleagues coming up, I advise them to never stop learning as an actor. I tell myself that too; learning never stops.”
