Fast-rising actress, Biola Ige, decided to spill out some truths about her,acting and her semi-nu.de picture that trended online with Punchng… Enjoy the interview..
What triggered your interest in the make-believe industry?
I became an actress because I developed a passion for it. I had explored education and modelling as well. I strongly believed I was destined to become an actress. As fate would have it, I met some people in the movie industry who inspired me wholly. It was then I decided to take my first shot at acting and I haven’t looked back since then. l moved to Lagos after my university education. I went for auditions in Lagos and landed my first role in a movie produced by OJ Productions.
How many movies have you featured in?
I have featured in about over 20movies including Blackmail; Holy City; My Fantasy; Ground Player; Dearest Link, My flavour; and Pregnant hawkers.
Which is your most challenging role till date?
That will have to be ‘Shakira’. It was filmed in Ghana and that was the movie that launched my career. Luckily, I had a producer who believed in me.
What excites you most about being a celebrity?
I am not sure what excites me but I am super excited at being able to do what I love, and getting paid for it.
A semi-nu.de picture of you surfaced online a while ago. ….
The movie was titled ‘Pregnant Hawkers’. It was a photograph I took with Muna Obiekwe on the set of a movie. It was a great movie and I don’t regret taking part in the movie.
What was the reaction from family and friends when the picture began to trend on the social media?
My family and friends know who I am. They were totally with me on the photo episode. No one took it that seriously and they all knew it was part of my movie role!
Did you feel like quitting after that picture went viral?
No I didn’t! I set the record straight and continued working on my projects. I am not one to allow distractions get in the way of my work.
Are you in a relationship?
I am single and learning about myself daily. I love it, but I am also looking forward to meeting the right person.
