Veteran actor Patrick Doyle recently trended due to his comment, as he reacted to speculations that his estranged wife, actress Ireti Doyle, is more popular than he is in the Nigerian movie industry.

Patrick, who criticised the viral slang of 'What God can't do doesn't exist,' countered that his ex-wife’s decision to keep his surname after their divorce was because he was more popular.

Listing his achievements, Patrick disclosed that he became a star at the age of 16, long before Ireti hit the limelight.

Speaking with The Muvmnt Studio, the veteran actor stated that he could never be defined by Ireti or anyone else, adding that his credentials are solid.

“Your ex-wife is more popular than you are, how do you feel about that?” the host asked Patrick. Responding, he said: “I have been popular since I was 16.

How long has she been around? I have been around for 45 years and I’m still around.

I was a superstar at the age of 16; a champion debater. I debated against Yemi Osinbajo," he said. Patrick got married to Ireti after he lost his first wife in 1999. The Nollywood couple confirmed their divorce in 2023.
