Someone once told me I was not as sophisticated as my colleagues – actress Biola Adekunle
Actress Biola Adekunle is holding her head high despite negativity from trolls on social media.
Adekunle, who is also known as Asake Oni Bread [Asake the Bread Seller], in a recent interview recalled that troll once referred to her as unsophisticated.
She added that she does not let the trolling get to her.
She said,
“I have read several negative comments about me on social media but I don’t allow them to get to me.
There was a time someone told me I was not looking as sophisticated as my colleagues.
The actress also revealed that marriage has limited the kind of romantic roles she can play in movies, adding that she can do anything in a movie except going naked.
Speaking in a Punch interview, the actress said:
“Marriage didn’t affect my career negatively because my husband supports my craft. I can take on any role; however, there is a limit to the romantic roles I play. He is on set with me sometimes, he is my pillar. He is not the type of man that is jealous; I guess it is because he trusts me. When I acted as a tout in a movie, it seemed challenging initially, but my boss motivated me to do it.
“I can do anything for my job but not to the extent of going naked. Despite the failed marriages in the industry, I wasn’t scared when I got married because I knew I was marrying my friend. My husband doesn’t even listen to rumours or gossips about me. He tells people it is the nature of my job.
“In this movie industry, I am always careful; I don’t try to impress anybody. I can wear anything I like. These days, I produce movies because I just want to keep my career alive. At the end of it all, I don’t really get enough profit from the movies I make. Marketers always give several excuses. Most of us have a ‘side hustle’ (another business) because the proceeds we realise are not impressive at all.”
