“And that was where I got to meet actors like Antar Laniyan, late Moji Olaiya, and many others. Whenever they came around for shootings of their movie project, I always got a role in the movie. That’s how I developed passion for acting,” the actor added.
Speaking on his growing up days, Mayegun who abandoned his sociology degree for acting didn’t find life easy. He learnt to assist the family at a tender age.
