He spoke about how his father inspired him at a young age to be an actor. He said when he was still in school, anytime he was with his friends, they usually teased him about being a popular actor's son.
He said, "They call me Omo Bello. Bello's son. So I thought I actually want my children to be called Omo Femi Adebayo as well."

"I'm motivated by his success in this field and he encouraged us to be educated. He also encouraged us to choose this particular line as a career so my mentor is my father.", he added.
