Yul Edochie could not resist sharing what he called "the best part of the interview" after his father Pete Edochie appeared on a viral podcast and made a declaration that set the internet ablaze.
The clip, which Yul posted to his Instagram on Tuesday, September 8, 2026, came from comedian Isbae U's online show, Curiosity Made Me Ask, where the legendary Nollywood veteran was a guest.

During the session, Isbae U asked Pete Edochie to name his favourite actor. The veteran star's answer was anything but conventional. Rather than naming a colleague, Pete stated plainly that he sees himself as standing above everyone else in the industry, making it impossible for him to single out a favourite from those beneath him.
"I am bigger than all of them. Who's going to be my favourite actor?" he asked.
Isbae U, however, was quick to offer his own pick. The comedian named Yul Edochie as his personal favourite actor, a moment that clearly delighted the younger Edochie enough to share the clip with his own followers.
The post stirred reactions, with fans divided between amusement at Pete's confidence and admiration for the Edochie family's dominance in Nigerian cinema.
In related news, Legit.ng reported that actor Femi Adebayo addressed the comparison between his father, Oga Bello, and Pete Edochie.
