- Timini Egbuson remains unwavering in his assertion that he outshines his colleague, Zubby Michael, as an actor on the African stage
- During a recent tête-à-tête with OAP Do2tun, Timini was prodded to justify his stance on his audacious claim.
- With passion and fervor, he launched into a detailed dissection of his achievements, leaving no doubt as to why he believes himself to be the superior talent.
Timini Egbuson, the Nollywood actor, is fervently maintaining that he surpasses his colleague, Zubby Michael, in prominence and stature within the movie industry.
WITHIN NIGERIA recalls reporting that the duo engaged in a fiery debate on the first episode of the Prime Video original reality show, ‘Ebuka Turns Up Africa’, debated vigorously over who rightfully claims the title of the biggest actor in Africa.
During a recent interview with Cool FM, Lagos, alongside Ebuka Obi-Uchendu, Egbuson maintained his stance, asserting that he surpasses Michael in terms of movie quality, box office success, and recognition among industry insiders.
The host, Do2tun asked, “Why do you think you’re a bigger actor than Zubby?”
Egbuson replied, “If you watched the show, what you will first realise is that I wasn’t talking about Zubby. I speak my sh*t everytime and everywhere I go. I considered myself the biggest actor, it wasn’t about than Zubby. It’s about bigger than everybody else.
“So, Zubby took it personal which is obvious, because he is also an actor that thinks he is big.
“But if we now decide to break it down statistically, in terms of the quality of movies that we shoot, the range of movies that we shoot, the number of movies that we’ve shot, the box office record, popularity among industry experts and consistency. If you put them together, there is no way that Zubby would score higher than me.”
