RMD marks his birthday
Legit.ng reported that veteran Nollywood actor Richard Mofe-Damijo, popularly known as RMD, continued to attract attention not only for his enduring career but also for the youthful energy and distinctive style he brings to his public appearances. At 65, the celebrated actor reflected on ageing, family, fashion, marriage, and his long-standing passion for acting.
RMD’s reflections on reaching the milestone have also carried a deeper personal meaning. He noted that his parents did not live to see 60, making his own journey beyond that age particularly significant. For the actor, each additional day is a gift and an opportunity to appreciate life.
Beyond his thoughts on longevity, RMD remained a talking point for his youthful appearance and fashion choices. His wardrobe, which often features contemporary and bold pieces, even surprised his grown children. He also shared some of the habits and outlooks he believes have helped him maintain his youthful appearance and energy.
