By Animashaun Samiat Ayomide

The delectable Nollywood actress, Bimbo Ademoye, has come out to make it known that she has moved to the next level as she no longer accept any and every role that comes her way.

In a recent interview that was made public, the sexy actress stated that when she first got into the movie industry, she accepted any role that came her way. But now, she carefully selects which roles she accepts to play.

She 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 accept any movie roles, 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.”
