Nollywood veteran, Richard Mofe Damijo popularly known as RMD has revealed that none of his parents clocked the age of 60 before they died.
The actor who will be 60 on the 6th of July is filled with immense joy as he surpasses his parents. RMD revealed this during a recent interview and he was all smiles. He stated that none of his parents got to the age of 60 before they died and so he sees this his 60th birthday as a great achievement.
The actor further revealed that his mother died at the age of 59 and his father at the 57/58. He stated that there has been a specter of death around his life, so even getting to 59years was a big deal for him. During the interview he stated; None of my parents lived to be 60, so life for me is just about to get started.” “There’s been a specter of death around my life, that’s what I’ve been dealing with last year till this year. When I turned 59, it was a big deal for me, big deal for me! My mom died at 59, my father died at 57/58.”
“So, it was like, can I break it? When people see me and I go on a weight loss, people think that… you know, it’s health. Both my parents were diabetic and hypertensive, I don’t want to be that. I don’t want to be diabetic and hypertensive, I want to be healthier. Atleast give myself a fighting chance to change that whole cycle. Yes I’m a Christian now, so I’ve broken that yoke but I have to also help myself.” “Becoming 60 for me is even a bigger deal, so when July comes and I become 60. You know how the Bible says old things have passed away, I will truly truly become a new man because that is when I’ll make a bucket list. So all these things that you think I’ve achieved or done, for me it’s nothing, like zero.” “So I’m going to now sit down when I’m 60 and do a bucket list … and then we’ll start.” This was such a heartfelt moment.
