Chidi Mokeme has experienced different transitions in the course of his career.
Prior to acting, Chidi was a model before the chance to start acting suddenly popped up and he grabbed the opportunity.
But reflecting on his career thus far, Chidi intimated that you can’t compare modeling with acting. As a model, there is a certain look you must always wear. But movies, the impression is that it is either this guy is a nice looking play boy or the other way round. These two personalities have the same look, but they are just different mentally.
The actor stated that the fastest role one can get when coming into the movie industry is the muscle or bad guy roles.
Chidi stated that he wanted to play the lead role, but there was something holding him back, and that was physique and looks. Adding that he had to change that and stop going to the gym, stopped wearing my folded T-shirts:
“I started wearing nice shirts that made me look so cool. Then I started looking more like the play boy, so I started losing the bodyguard roles and I got more nice boy roles. It was just different transitions.”
