Legendary Ghanaian actor, Adjetey Anang has said that he never thought he would be a superstar.
One of the movie legendries who graced television in the 90s and contributed to the movie industry is Adjetey Anang.
Speaking about how he began his career in an interview with Rev Erskine on YLeaderboard segment of Y107.9 FM’s ‘Myd Morning Radio Show”, Adjetey Anang said his father wanted him to take the same path he took in the career of science.
“I knew that Dad would drop hints of me toeing the line in the sciences because he was a biochemist. I however looked at his life and thought that look, I don’t want to position myself in that situation. He wasn’t a social person per se, and for him, unfortunately, I was exposed to father and fatherhood on the screen.
“I see fathers come home and they are kind of with the kids going for this fun place and I think that was exciting. That’s the kind of father I want to be. I look at my dad and he wants me to follow the sciences and I’m like that’s boring because this is work-home-work-home,” he stressed.
“So for a long time I didn’t really know what I wanted to do,” he added.
“Growing up, I certainly had a thing for movies but I never saw myself as being in front of the camera. I just loved it and was excited about how people transformed characters that they’re not even in real life into reality and that was it,” he concluded.
Adjetey Anang highlighting his interests furthered, “Otherwise then, I think that partly because my uncles had a thing for tennis for example so, I tilted more into tennis. Football not really but tennis and Boxing more.”
