Bustle Booth
The Responderstar on her love ofInsecure, comedy, and fresh starts.
Acting wasnt Adelayo Adedayos first calling in life.
Her characters steadfast belief is what first drew Adedayo to the role.
To do that, as a rookie, is incredibly brave, and I was really drawn to that.
Before I started shooting, I didnt know!
Despite its heavy subject matter,The Responderalso shares this biting sense of humour.
Ridiculous as it may seem, its an issue police have genuinely dealt with in the past.
Im really drawn to comedic drama because I think its a really good reflection of life, explains Adedayo.
A friend will say something and you have a little giggle.
Life goes between the two extremes, and it feels very representative.
Comedy is joy and it makes people smile.
