Featuring in a recent episode of Hip TV programme Trending, hosted by reality star KimOprah, Ade noted that she has always admired the veteran actor.
She said that he was behind her decision to abandon her career as a model in America and relocate to Nigeria.
She said: “He was the one who gave me confirmation to move to Nigeria. I met him before I came to Nigeria and I told him what my goals and aspirations were. And he gave me a very good pep talk and I moved down.
“Imagine from 2011 never getting to work with him. And this is someone you’ve always admired. Then during a film festival, I saw him and I went to exchange pleasantries as usual.
“The next day, I got a call from the producer Chris, his very good friend, and he said, ‘Adunni, what did you give Ramsey to eat? Ramsey just cast you.’
