American comedy legend, Dave Chappelle wants to feature in Nollywood

May 26,2021
Share:

American comedy legend, Dave Chappelle has expressed his desire to feature in a Nigerian movie, in what perhaps is his next career move.⁣
⁣
Chappelle voiced this desire while making an appearance on the Joe Rogan Podcast when asked if he would consider acting again.⁣


⁣
“I have this weird idea. I want to go to Africa and do some of these Nollywood movies,” the comedy legend said.⁣
⁣
“I’ve been watching them, and how people can solve problems with so little resources.⁣
⁣
“This is what these African directors are like. The movies look crazy but it’s funny how crazy they look.⁣
⁣
⁣
“But it is also inspiring because I can’t believe this guy with no resources solve complicated filmmaking problem with this type of ingenuity because they had to.⁣
⁣
“What if there is a reputable American star to apply these tricks to?⁣
⁣
“I come with this funny; you just give that look. Don’t you worry, it’s all going to work out.⁣
⁣
“I want to do that, I want just to see what’s popping over there. Africa is popping right now.”⁣
⁣
Asked if he has an idea of a script for the movie, Chappelle said he doesn’t need one because it does it seem that these Nollywood movies are acted out with scripts.⁣
⁣
⁣
“I don’t know that I need one. You have to see one of these movies to see what I’m talking about,” he said.⁣
⁣
“It’s like something about it makes me feel joyful when I watch it.”⁣
⁣
Chappelle has been a fan of the African culture and also has plans to perform in Africa.⁣
