Michael Bonny Bassey lives in
Austin Texas, he is a very bright young man with a future of great dreams ahead
of him, and he is working hard to make it come true.
He is not only a model, but also
an actor who has featured in some Nollywood
films, so it is safe to say he is a Nollywood celebrity in his own right,
having been part of movies like Dreams,
Love Is In The Air, Boomerang, School Party, Not Enough, War Against Men,
Elephant In The Room, amongst others.
For Michael, life in the US has
taken a different focus for now. He is currently certified fitness trainer who studied with the Academy of Sports and Medicine. Movies and fitness do not mix, you may say, but it does. One
can only imagine it could lead to a career, still working within the movie
industry and beyond, training celebrities and everyday people, keeping them
fit. As we all know, staying in good shape is very essential these days, and
fitness trainers are in hot demand. A lifestyle choice that saves and prolongs
life as well.
To say he is blessed with good
looks is not only stating the obvious, he has oodles of it. He has that
movie/music star heartthrob look, between a modern day baddie heartbreaker, and
old school cool, reminiscent of John Travolta,Clint Eastwood, Al Pacino, Robert
DeNiro, Andy Garcia, etc. Classic and timeless.
A look that can adorn any wall
year in year out without fading away. One thing he possesses is that element of
humility that is sometimes lost with some good looking people. And that is
quite an endearing attribute which immediately earns you unsolicited respect
and attention.
Michael comes from an athletic
family, so keeping in line with the family tradition is second nature.
"Training to be a fitness instructor, one needs to look the part" he
stated in our interview. He also revealed that because he is a bit skinny,
using weights to build up muscles is essential. In reality, very few people
will be intimidated by a skinny instructor eg. moi (lol).
There is a natural fear
and respect around musclebound fitness instructors. Although we now know it
doesn't always follow. Good instructors come in all shapes and sizes. Bulking
up is a very good way to go in not only achieving his ambition, but also to
look the part.
Furthermore, he emphasized on the
positives why keeping in shape outweighs the negatives. Such as, it helps in
boosting ones confidence, improves sleep, stimulates the brain, and reducing
the chances of heart disease. But most importantly, it improves our general
health and wellbeing.
Michael Bonny Bassey is of Sierra
Leonan descent and about to take on his American dream. In some quarters, I
hear he is known as "too much man in
one man" With looks like that,
the alias fits perfectly. To see more and follow his progress, he can be found
via his instagram handle @real_bassey.
