Chinedu Ikedieze, is famous for his mischief on screen, mostly with his partner in crime, Paw-Paw.
Nollywood actor, Chinedu Ikedieze
is not very famous for his own real
name, but for the character that brought
him stardom, Aki.
He
has attributed his acting prowess to the freedom he was able to get
from his grandmother while growing with her in Abia state.
The
actor, who became famous for his problem-child roles, stated that it
was the way he was given the opportunity to have fun that paved way for
him to know how children play and that made him learn how to play pranks
on people.
He said:
“My
background contributed a lot to who I am today and it is still
contributing. I grew up with my grandmother in Abia State and I learnt a
lot from her. She probably just gave me a free hand to operate as a
little boy and that gave me the opportunity to know how to set traps,
play pranks on people and to know other little things that children
usually do.
The experience really
influenced what I do today because most of the films I do are children-
friendly. You will always see me playing one mischievous role or the
other; I learnt these things while I was a little boy. Also, every child
has a story; you know I was a street boy, so to speak. All those little
things I gathered on the streets. Aki is the character that everybody
knows me for, though Chinedu Ikedieze is not a mischievous person.”
