According to him, the actress initially lost her temper but later surprised him by apologizing for her reaction. He explained:<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">\u201cI was the one who damaged Funke Akindele\u2019s new car while trying to park it after a movie set. Funke is someone who can get angry quickly, but when she calms down, she apologises.

Despite the small pay, he said his passion for acting kept him motivated. He said:<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">\u201cWhen I started out, Femi Adebayo was giving me \u20a65,000 because of the love I had for acting.

Just months ago, veteran actress Tola Oladokun praised Funke for giving her opportunities that helped boost her career. She revealed how she once missed her first chance to work with Funke but was later invited back, which led to more collaborations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">Similarly, in April, actor Ijoba Lande shared that Funke had invited him to participate in a month-long shoot at Amen Estate.
