Famous Nigerian Nollywood actress, Damilola Adegbite finally explains why she has not been on the big screen most of the time .
The actress who was known majorly for her role in the drama series, Tinsel has revealed the reasons behind her disappearance from the acting stage.
She explained during an interview :
“ I did feel like that at the beginning because I noticed that many of the roles I was being casted for were intimate roles because of the kind of relationship that I had on Tinsel with my co-cast as in Soji and Kwame. It was like you know they were my love interests so I was getting a lot of you have to be intimate in all your roles and I think that kind of reduces your you know, it just minimizes your potential. You’re just being boxed in the same place or especially as an actor. I’m an actor in the first place which means I’m a creative which means I like to express myself.
So I want to be the poor girl on the streets, I want to be the person selling plantain, I want to experience different roles but they’ll tell you, you cannot sell plantains you’re light-skinned so yeah it was a bit of an issue it still is honestly, I think it still is but yeah I haven’t left by the way it’s not like I’ve left the industry I’m just very choosy, very picky I think that’s what it is. “
