HOW I SLAPPED MY FATHER, FEMI ADEBAYO

Famous Nollywood actor and producer, Femi Adebayo has explained why he slapped his father, Adebayo Salami, popularly known as Oga Bello.

It will be recalled that the actor had slapped his father in 2008, while on the movie set of actress Funke Akindele’s film, ‘Taiwo Taiwo’.

However, addressing the incident in his latest interview, he noted that he apologized to his father after the scene.

In a trending video on social media, Femi, who described the slap as accidental, admitted that it wasn’t part of the script.

“I ended up slapping my father in Funke Akindele’s movie, ‘Taiwo Taiwo’ while trying to act like an aggressive thief.

“It wasn’t in the film that I had to slap him, but the character was an aggressive thief, and the man didn’t want to give us money and I just realized that I raised my hand to hit him.

“So, when I begged him after the scene, he was like you would have been in trouble if you had failed to hit me.”
