Desmond mentioned that he went into acting following the influence of his friend who wasn\u2019t an actor. He said his friend felt that Desomd belonged to the TV screen; hence, he urged him to venture into acting. His first-ever appearance on the screen was in 2002 in a movie titled <em>Jesu Mushin,<\/em> where he played a minor role. After that movie, his talent paved way for him to take part in TV series and soap operas such as <em>Everyday People, One Too Much, Saints and Sinners,<\/em> and many others.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_68719\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-68719\" style=\"width: 700px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-68719 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/buzznigeria.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/pjimage-2-1.jpg\" alt=\"Who is Desmond Elliot?

The actor also has an NGO called Desmond Elliot Foundation. The organization basically deals with disseminating information on hygiene, sanitation, and other health-related issues in the country.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The actor turned politician painted a picture of himself as a grassroots politician capable of representing his people well. He opined that due to the fact the lawmaker is the person that the people at the grassroots see, they make demands upon demands, including the ones that are not within his jurisdiction to handle. According to him, they also forget that the money for the project is meant to come from the top. Hinting on his ordeals, he noted that when any of these demands are not met, the people begin to see you as not capable. However, he mentioned the projects he has done and talks about the ones he has in mind to do in the future.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>\u00a0Why His Choice of APC?\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Desmond Elliot contested for the position of his constituency\u2019s lawmaker and won under the controversial APC and is still a strong member of the ruling political party to date. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vanguardngr.com\/2014\/11\/chose-apc-political-party-desmond-elliot\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">In an interview<\/a>, he was asked why he chose APC over other political parties, the lawmaker cited the party&#8217;s manifesto as his reason. According to him, it is a party of change; hence, where he needed to be. He also made mention of the party&#8217;s promise to create over a million jobs for youths and to pay every unemployed youth at least N5000 per month.<\/p>\n<h3><b>How Desmond Combines Politics and Acting<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When he went into politics most of his fans assumed his acting career had ended. However, in an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.premiumtimesng.com\/entertainment\/nollywood\/327213-how-i-combine-acting-with-politics-desmond-elliot.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">interview with Premium Times<\/a>, the actor talked about how <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">he combines his acting career<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and his political career. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to him, leaving the acting scene entirely would make it seem like he had gone into where money flows and abandon the <a href=\"https:\/\/buzznigeria.com\/nollywood-nigerias-film-industry\/\">Nollywood industry<\/a>. He also used that opportunity to correct the notion some persons have of his political ambition, as him going into where money flows easily.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To avoid leaving the acting terrain entire, he confessed that he doesn&#8217;t necessarily act, but he makes sure his production company produces movies. That is his way of ensuring that the Nollywood industry grows.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Noting that both terrains are demanding, he regarded himself as a person born with the innate ability to act. However, to meet up with his political career, he had to do less entertainment and concentrate more on politics. Concentrating more on politics, as he noted, would help him to not just grow more in that area, but to be an active and efficient politician.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Furthermore, on his political ambition, the Nollywood actor revealed that his political goal is to attain the position of the governor of Lagos State. For him, it is something born out of the zeal to give back to society and to serve his people. He believes he is capable of doing it, hence his motivation for it. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Desmond Elliot can be regarded as one of the most successful actors who have ventured into the political arena. He is currently in his second tenure as the lawmaker representing his constituency.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bellanaija.com\/2014\/11\/desmond-elliot-i-didnt-suddenly-go-into-politics-politics-has-always-been-a-part-of-me\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">In an interview<\/a>, when the actor was asked if politics is as dirty as people make it seem, his answer was not what you&#8217;d expect. He blamed the Ministry of National Orientation Agency for it. He strongly believes that the ministry has failed in its sensitization duty. For him, the agency has but done enough in letting the citizens know how to comport themselves in politics. He, therefore, urged them to do so frequently, not only when the election is around the corner. He also mentioned that the body should stress that politics and violence are not the same.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><b>Meet Desmond Elliot&#8217;s Wife and Children<\/b><\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_59016\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-59016\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-59016\" src=\"https:\/\/buzznigeria.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/des-e1533112509947.jpg\" alt=\"Desmond Elliot\" width=\"1000\" height=\"500\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-59016\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Elliot and his family<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The name of Desmond&#8217;s wife is Victoria Elliot.

He said he is grateful to have her in his life because she is loving and understanding.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>It is also worthy to note that their marriage has been scandal-free unlike what is common among Nigeria&#8217;s celebrity couples these days. Never has it been heard or reported that they were involved in one marital scandal or the other. Perhaps, this is due to the maturity the couple exhibits in their marriage and eschews from washing their dirty linen in public.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, not much is known about the Elliot kids as their parents probably regulate what comes out to the public about their family. But seeing the age of their kids, we can assume accurately that is should all still be in school. Be that as it may, Desmond and Victoria Elliot&#8217;s only daughter named Dawna Elliot (Sisimama) has already begun acting and has featured in a couple of films produced by Denzoit Productions.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_68723\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-68723\" style=\"width: 750px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/res.6chcdn.feednews.com\/assets\/v2\/82753c83f5e652b9c7565ce7e4f5e863?quality=hq&amp;format=webp&amp;resize=720&amp;resize=720\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-68723 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/buzznigeria.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/pjimage-7.jpg\" alt=\"Who is Desmond Elliot?
