Don’t Join The Movie Industry Because You Are Pretty – Bimbo Ademoye Cautions

Nollywood actress, Bimbo Ademoye has cautioned those who intend to join Nollywood just because they are pretty and have long hair. She warned it is more than that. She also spoke about not just accepting any roles she gets to be offered lately too. Speaking as a guest on Meet and Greet, the actress said, “Make sure you know the craft (before joining the industry). Don’t just come in because you are pretty, have long hair or a good shape. I came in with my ‘bow legs’ (knock knees), saying, ‘This is me’. My dad has a lot of connections but for some reasons, he did not ‘know people’ in the movie industry. I came in all by myself knowing full well that this is what I want to do. Back then, I used to take any movie roles (that came my way). Now, I am quite selective. Someone once got offended because I said, ‘No’. I told the person it was a beautiful story but I did not see myself playing it, and she got offended.”
