Veteran actor Richard Mofe-Damijo recently appeared on a podcast and shared candid thoughts about being labeled a legend. The 63-year-old performer expressed strong reservations about the title that many have used to describe him throughout his career.

RMD pointed to actors like Pete Edochie and Olu Jacobs as true legends of Nollywood. He believes the term "legend" feels more like a retirement label than a genuine honor. The actor, who began his journey in 1982, sees the title as potentially diminishing his ongoing relevance in the entertainment industry.

Speaking openly, he referenced memories of watching Olu Jacobs in classic commercials. RMD's perspective challenges the traditional way that fans and media recognize long-standing performers. His comments highlight a nuanced view of recognition in the Nigerian film industry.

The Delta-born actor's comments reveal a humble approach to his significant career. He pushes back against automatic recognition, preferring to be seen as an active, continuing performer. RMD's stance demonstrates his commitment to ongoing artistic relevance.
