ITV’s The Tower seems destined to be one of the best TV series of 2021. And that’s saying a lot in this golden age for TV. Directed by Gemma Whelan (of GOT fame) and supported by Jimmy Akingbola, Tahirah Sharif and Nick Holder, the series follows a group of police officers as they investigate the death of a boy who fell to his death from a tower.
As we continue to cover the cast members of the show, today we have Jimmy Akingbola. Find out everything there is to know about Jimmy in this article.
Does Jimmy Akingbola have a wife or partner?
Let’s start with Jimmy’s personal life. And this is where Jimmy’s Q&A for The Guardian would come in handy. During the question and answer session, Jimmy Akingbola said that he is not sure if he has ever been in love. This could suggest that as of 2021 he is still single or at least not in a serious relationship.
Jimmy also said that even though he has never really been in love, he has lied and said “I love you” to someone. So of course Jimmy has had relationships in the past. And it doesn’t seem like they did it that well.
Later in the same interview, Jimmy said that he had a lot of good kisses in his life. However, he doesn’t have much sex. The interview took place during the height of the pandemic and the lack of sex is perhaps not all that surprising.
Other than that interview, Jimmy hasn’t shared much information about his personal life. There are no apparent social media partners of his. This could mean that he is single, which is pretty consistent with the conclusion we got from the Guardian interview.
Jimmy may not share information about his personal life on social media, but he is constantly sharing information about his work.
Jimmy Akingbolo Net Worth
As of 2021, Jimmy Akingbola had a net worth of over $600,000.
Jimmy always wanted to make art. And so he went to the Academy of Live and Recorded Arts and got a degree in acting.
After college, Jimmy began his acting career at the Birmingham Repertory Theatre. His first role was as Bill Alexander in The Nativity. He later starred in the Royal National Theatre’s production of Baby Doll, a West Yorkshire Playhouse production of Naked Justice.
As for his on-screen acting, Jimmy has had nearly two decades in the industry and 60 acting credits. He made his film debut with the film Anansi in 2002 and on television with Roger Roger in 2003.
His most popular TV series so far are Rev (2010-2014), Holby City (2006-2016), The Most Dangerous Fame (2020), Kate and Koji (2020), Ted Lasso (2020).
The Tower, in which Jimmy plays DC Steve Bradshaw, was released on November 8, 2021. Although Jimmy wasn’t a huge fan of his character at first, he “little by little grew up”.
Jimmy has also won many awards. He has two BAFTA Awards for Best TV Actor for Holby City and REV.
Jimmy Akingbolo’s parents
Jimmy had a very unorthodox upbringing. His biological parents were from Nigeria. They divorced when he was very young and his mother became seriously ill. Since she was Jimmy’s primary career and she couldn’t take care of him, she sent him to foster home.
So, Jimmy was raised by white British foster parents in London. He was the youngest of four brothers and two sisters. Not much was known about the childhood of his other siblings. The elderly could probably take care of themselves.
Anyway, there was another artist among Jimmy’s brothers. His older brother, Sola Akingbola, is a songwriter, songwriter and band musician. Sola is a very popular artist in England. She has a blue mark on Instagram and Facebook.
And Jimmy’s niece, namely Sola’s daughter, Fola Evans Akingbola, is also a rising actress. Namely, in 2016, she landed her first starring role in the American series Dawn.
Jimmy’s other brother, Segun Akingbola, passed away in January 2020.
