Actor Charles Inojie has expressed his gratitude and surprise after Shaffy Bello praised him as one of her favourite comedy actors, alongside the late Sam Loco.
In an interview with VJ Adams, Shaffy Bello named Charles Inojie and the late Sam Loco as her top Nollywood comedy actors, and Samuel L. Jackson as her Hollywood favourite.
“Please bring me Sam Loco. I will bring his spirit back if I could bring anybody back. Praising Charles, she said his talents are innate, as she noted that they cannot be taught or learnt. His timing. People don’t get that, you can’t teach it, or could learn it. It is just innate”, she said.
Reacting to the praise on his Instagram page, Charles Inojie said he’s “awestruck and dumbfounded” by the recognition.
He called it his best New Year’s gift and promised not to disappoint Shaffy Bello, appreciating her kind words.
Awestruck. I’m literally dumbfounded. To receive such glowing validation from an internationally renowned and widely celebrated professional is, to say the least, my best New Year’s gift so far. Thank you, @iamshaffybello, just as I make a fresh commitment never to disappoint. I do not take this for granted”, he wrote.
