Nollywood actor Timini Egbuson is setting the record straight about a common perception surrounding his image.
Speaking on The Culture League podcast, Timini addressed the long-standing rumor that he’s a ladies’ man. “People think I’m a womaniser—but I’m really not,” he shared during a candid conversation with friends from the industry. “I’m not as wild as everyone assumes.”
The actor opened up about his personal life, revealing that for the past two to three years, he’s been single and deeply focused on his career. “Nollywood has completely taken over my life,” he admitted. “There’s barely time for anything else.”
Still, he acknowledged that he sometimes enjoys playing the “bad boy” role—but only in character.
Timini also reflected on growing older and how it’s reshaped his priorities. “No matter how young you look or feel, life reminds you that you’re maturing. Your decisions, your circle—it all shifts,” he said.
He made it clear that when it comes to work, he keeps things strictly professional. “I don’t date actors I work with. I can confidently say that. When I’m on set, it’s all business.”
His dedication hasn’t gone unnoticed. In 2024, Top Charts Africa named him the most impactful African actor and listed him among its 100 most influential people. He also took home the Actor of the Year award at the 2024 EMY Africa Awards.
At 36, Timini’s star continues to rise—not just for his talent, but for the way he’s carving out his own narrative.
