According to Yen report, Ghanaian actor-turned-politician John Dumelo has once again captured the hearts of many with his down-to-earth personality and sense of humor. The Deputy Minister-designate for the Ministry of Food and Agriculture was conducting an interview at the University of Ghana, Legon, when he paused the session to take pictures with an excited fan, much to the delight of onlookers.
The incident occurred while Dumelo was being interviewed by popular Ghanaian blogger, The 1957 News. As preparations for the interview were underway, a young female student approached Dumelo, eager to snap a photo with him. Without hesitation, Dumelo paused the conversation, turned to the fan, and jokingly told the interviewer, “Don’t stop the recording,” before happily posing for the photo.
The spontaneous moment, which was captured on video, quickly went viral on social media, with many users praising Dumelo for his humility and lightheartedness. The female student, visibly thrilled, eagerly posed with the politician, further adding to the joy of the interaction. The incident was met with laughter from those present, creating an unforgettable and wholesome scene.
Social media users flooded the post with comments, many highlighting Dumelo’s effortless charm. Benjamin Newmoon humorously remarked, “Am I the only one who heard ‘have you cut?’” while Trenchboy Ozy added, “This man is funny without even trying.” Others admired the fan’s excitement, with one comment stating, “The lady is nice oo.”
This delightful interaction further reinforces Dumelo’s reputation as a relatable and approachable public figure. Despite his new role in politics, Dumelo continues to stay connected with the people, a trait that has earned him admiration from both his supporters and critics.
This moment follows other instances where Dumelo has shown his grounded nature, such as when he was seen celebrating with street hawkers after his appointment.
