There were mixed reactions on Sunday after the Fountain of Life Church (TFOLC) announced Jimmy Odukoya, a Nollywood actor and the son of Bimbo and Taiwo Odukoya, as the senior pastor of the church.

Recall that the Churchโ€™s founder, Pastor Taiwo Odukoya, died on August 7, 2023, in the United States.

The former senior pastor of the church passed away at the age of 67, OsunDailyNG reports.

However, Jimmy, who has now succeeded his late father as the new spiritual leader of the church, has once said that being a pastor doesnโ€™t affect his acting career.

In January 2021, while speaking during an Instagram Live interview with actress and presenter, Iretiola Doyle, Jimmy said he doesnโ€™t bother playing the role of an antagonist in movies as far as it aligns with his worldview.

The heir of the Odukoya, who insisted that acting and being a pastor are two different things, said there is no such thing as being a Christian actor, as coined by some people.

According to him, he would play any role as an actor as far as people can learn from it.

โ€œHow does being a pastor affect my acting career? I donโ€™t believe it; some people have different opinions, one is if I am an actor, I should be a Christian actor, and I say there is no such thing.

โ€œThere is no such thing as a Christian banker, a Christian doctor, a Christian accountant or a gynaecologist. An accountant is an accountant, and an actor is an actor. Because I am a Christian and an actor, that means I have a particular worldview,โ€ the star of Netflixโ€™s Woman King movie said during the said interview.

โ€œIn what I do as a person when I am given a role, I ask myself, โ€˜does this align with my worldview? Can a lesson be learnt from this story?โ€™ If the answer is yes, then I am happy to do it. It does not mean that I have to be a good guy; I am happy to be the antagonist as long as people can learn from it,โ€ย Daily Trust quotedย Jimmy as saying.

OsunDailyNG understands that Jimmy started his acting career in 2016 after featuring in Baby Shower.

He has been nominated for the Africa Magic Viewers Choice Award (AMVCA) in the โ€œBest Supporting Actor of the Yearโ€ category.
