Tall and eloquent Nigerian actor, Jammal Ibrahim has said his uniqueness as an actor is based on his personality.

Speaking exclusively with Vanguard, Jammal who also added that every actor is creatively unique in their craft, said: “I don’t agree with the word make-believe.

“I think every artiste is unique in their own way and that is what makes each one of us different. What makes me stand out? I guess I just add my personality to whatever project I am working on.”

On how he is dealing with the pandemic as an actor and why his name is not out there, despite all his blockbuster movies, he laughed: “At the moment, I am stuck in another country.
