Who are Nollywood’s current leading men? By leading men I mean those suave, well-spoken, well dressed actors you imagine as the ideal man … that make you momentarily pause what you are doing as you watch them on your screen and lose yourself in the world they invite you in. You super-impose your face on the face of their ‘lady loves’ (Sorry actresses!) and believe that every word he is telling them, he is actually telling you! Even if it is just for 90 minutes… and it doesn’t stop there.
1. Blossom Chukwujekwu

1.When it comes to Nollywood leading men the first name that comes to everyone’s lips is Blossom Chukwujekwu. Talented, good looking with a rich baritone voice to boot, Blossom easily steps in the shoes left vacant by previous leading men. He burst on to our consciousness with the movie ‘Flower Girl’ and cemented his status with an unforgettable performance in ‘Knocking On Heaven’s Door, a role that garnered him the coveted AMVCA Award for Best Supporting Actor. He has since gone on to act several other equally intriguing movie roles where he continues to show his acting prowess.

2. Kunle Remi
Kunle Remi is such a breath of fresh air…. likeable, funny and very talented he leaped into our consciousness when he acted in the movie ‘Falling’ alongside Blossom Chukwujekwu and Adesua Etomi, and has gone on to prove his mettle in productions such as ‘Tiwa’s Baggage, Sobi’s Mystic ‘Tinsel’, Forbidden where his role as Demilade Doregos has endeared him to many. He is certainly one to watch in this year.

3. Sweet, fresh-faced Ayo Ayolola is a revelation! We first noticed him in a clip in the soon-to-be released series by Mildred Okwo titled ‘The Banker’ before getting a bigger taste of him in the Africa magic series Ajoche but he made his biggest mark in the webs series ‘Skinny Girl In Transit’ as the irrepressible Mide and most especially as the audacious Aminu in RedTV’s ‘The Men’s Club’. He has a die-hard cult following who understand when he says; ‘I am a forest!’ Lol We are patiently waiting and looking forward the next seasons of the series this year.
