Adebowale "Debo" Adedayo, widely recognised by his stage name Mr Macaroni, is a multifaceted Nigerian actor, comedian, content creator, and social activist. Born on May 3, 1993, in Ogudu, Lagos, Nigeria, he hails from Ogun State and grew up in the Magodo area of Lagos.
Debo embarked on his educational journey at Tendercare International Nursery and Primary School, followed by Babcock University High School. Initially pursuing a law degree at Lead City University, he transferred to Houdegbe North American University in Cotonou, Benin. However, he left before completing his degree. Determined to follow his passion for the arts, Debo studied Theatre Arts at Redeemer's University, Nigeria, graduating in 2018.
His rise to fame began in 2019 with satirical comedy skits on social media, portraying characters like "Daddy Wa," a philandering political figure, and "Professor Hard Life," a strict lecturer. These skits, characterised by catchphrases such as "Ooin," "Freaky freaky," and "You are doing well," resonated with audiences and propelled him into the spotlight.
Beyond entertainment, Debo is a vocal advocate for social justice. He actively participated in the 2020 #EndSARS movement, using his platform to highlight issues like police brutality and political oppression.
In 2025, Debo graduated from the prestigious Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (RADA) in London, completing the Advanced Acting for Camera course, further solidifying his commitment to his craft.
His filmography includes notable roles in "Ponzi" (2021), "Ayinla" (2021), "Aníkúlápó" (2022), "Freedom Way" (2024), and "Lisabi: The Uprising" (2024).
Debo's influence extends across various platforms, with over 4 million followers on Instagram (@mrmacaronii) and a significant presence on Twitter (@mrmacaronii).
