in a conversation with Pulse Nigeria, Chuks Joseph admitted that becoming an actor was never his original plan.
In his own words, Chuks Joseph expressed:
“There wasn’t a definitive reason to become an actor. I never wanted to become an actor. It just happened over time. It wasn’t like my childhood dream or a teenage dream. It just happened. I always loved movies and watched a lot of films so over time my love for films just grew.”
He revealed that the start of his acting career can be traced back to a modeling contest he participated in, where he emerged as the first runner-up.
As part of his winnings, he was given the opportunity to choose between attending a fashion class or a film school. Given his affinity for films, he opted for the latter.
Recalling his decision, Joseph shared, “I did a modelling contest and I was the first runner up, so I had the option of either going to a fashion class or a film school, and as a lover of film I decided to go to a film school. Seeing what filmmaking was like, I fell totally in love,”
“I got an opportunity to go into a film class in Lagos. The experience was amazing being able to see how films were being made. It’s like loving chocolate and coming to a chocolate factory and you see how the process is and you decide to start working at a chocolate factory,”
