Ghanaian actor and politician, John Dumelo, has disclosed he was paid 20,000 old Ghana cedi’s (Ghc2.00) for his first movie titled ‘Baby Thief’ which he starred with his sister.
In an exclusive interview on the ‘Y Leaderboard Series’ with Rev Erskine on Y107.9FM, John Dumelo said: “We actually got the role because we fit the role for the movie. The producers came to our school and asked for a brother and sister for the role. My sister and I were in the same school and that was it,”
“Earning that sum back then was a big deal. 20,000 old cedi’s back then was of a higher value than its equivalent now,” he added.
When asked how he spent the money, he disclosed that he and his sister spent the money on “chicken at a popular place in Tema called Mayflower” back then.
