October 17, (THEWILL) – It seems some naysayers are not happy that legendary actor, Oluwadotun Baiyewu Jacobs, professionally known as Olu Jacobs, is hale and hearty. About two weeks ago, it was rumoured online that he died. But those close to the seasoned actor debunked the rumour, stating that the elder statesman is still alive and well.
It was not the first time that a death rumour had trailed the actor. In May 2020, the Internet was abuzz with a similar tale until members of his family quickly reacted against it, describing it as false and depressing. One begins to wonder who the veteran actor has offended so much that they wish him dead. Why would anyone wish he was gone? The actor may have lost some weight and now looks frail, but he is still strong enough to move around. He paid a visit to his wife on location a few weeks ago and was also spotted in a video during his wife’s 60th birthday celebration to further dispel the death rumour.
Olu Jacobs is one of the most respected and influential actors in Nigeria with more than 40 years of acting experience.
