Richard Mofe Damijo Addresses Viral Frail Appearance Photo

A few weeks ago, a photo of Richard Mofe Damijo went viral. The photo shows that the veteran Nollywood actor has lost a dramatic amount of weight, causing rumours of a health scare among fans.

RMD told the Weekend Groove:

“What else do you need? You saw me on stage, did I look sick? People are probably so disappointed to see me looking so much better they want the news to be true. Unfortunately for them, I am in the best shape of my life.

Have you not taken photos of me. It amazes me how people cling to bad news. I am a public servant in Delta State, I go to work every day. I am not sick. I changed my lifestyle and lost weight and I am looking better than I have ever looked in my adult life. For the records, I am not on Facebook and my colleagues that they used their names as those who posted the stories have all denied it.”

A few days after the frail photo went viral. RMD was spotted at the memorial event for Nollywood icon Amaka Igwe looking healthy and handsome. See photo below.
