I gave my wife the biggest paycheck in my career – RMD

Actor, Richard Mofe-Damijo (RMD) has shared how he expressed his love for his wife by giving her the biggest payment he has ever received in his acting career

During an appearance on The Morayo show, 65-year-old actor said his idea of romance has evolved over the years, adding that it now goes beyond flowers and chocolates.

RMD recalled receiving a cheque worth N100 million and immediately deciding to hand it over to his wife.

“The first time I had the biggest cheque I’ve ever had in my life, I had like a 100m cheque. So I said, ‘Give it to my wife.’ When she got it, she said, ‘You want me to keep it for your children?’ So I said, ‘No, keep it for yourself.’”, he said.

Describing himself as a hopeless romantic, the actor joked that modern-day women seem to appreciate financial gifts more than traditional romantic gestures like flowers and chocolates.

RMD also spoke about recently turning 65, saying he sees every birthday as a blessing because neither of his parents lived to celebrate their 60th birthdays.

“I feel like I’m living in extra time right now. My parents didn’t make 60. My life is one of gratitude. I’m happy to be alive,” he said.

The screen veteran added that staying healthy and maintaining a positive outlook on life have played a major role in helping him remain youthful over the years.
