Mr Macaroni paid me N1 million for featuring in movie scene, says veteran actor Fatomilola

Veteran Nollywood actor, Peter Fatomilola, has recounted the moment skit maker and actor Adebowale Adedayo, popularly known as Mr Macaroni, showered him with unexpected amount after featuring in a movie scene.
Mr Fatomilola, in an interview with Africa List, hailed Mr Adedayo for his show of generosity during their encounters.
“When I started this work at a location in Fiditi, he greeted and escorted me to the car. He gave me N200,000 as transport fuel. The person I came to work for gave me N50, 000. It’s not once or twice. I can’t count it,” the actor narrated.
Mr Fatomilola, who explained the actor paid him N1,000,000 after featuring once in a movie, revealed that Mr Macaroni also sent his son and grandson some money.
“He thought of me and contacted me telling me that he was expecting me for a job. So I had to go there. I was waiting for them to call me to the scene, unknown to me that they invited me only for a scene.
“What I saw was Peter to Peter: Peter Edochie and Peter Fatomilola acted together. He [Mr Macaroni said I had satisfied him]. He then called my son and gave him N100,000; he gave my grandchild N50,000. We had not left Lekki when he sent me N1,000,000,” the veteran actor added.
Mr Adedayo had successfully transitioned from viral social media satirist to a major box-office and critically acclaimed Nollywood actor.
He had featured in a series of Nollywood blockbusters, including Lisabi, Jagun Jagun, Anikulapo, Ayinla and Gangs of Lagos among others.
