Nollywood actress Yvonne Jegede has lashed out at Nigerians for their hypocrisy while reacting to a viral photo of her colleague, Sarian Martins.
The light-skinned actress has been in the news over her bald look for a movie role. Rather than barbing her hair, the actress chose to use foundation to cover her hairline. This left many movie lovers criticising her.
Defending the actress, Yvonne noted how Nigerians slammed her for being extreme when she cut her long hair for a movie role. She noted that they told her to use makeup, yet are criticising Sarian for the same thing.
“When I cut my hair for my movie #Aja, this same social media people suggested it was extreme, that I should have used makeup. Viewers are hard to please lol.
Well, guys, please look out for my movie Aja coming soon…
Producer @lopeorire”
Kemi Filani reported in 2024 that Yvonne had gone all out for a movie role, going bald. The movie star, via her Instagram page, shared a video of herself cutting her hair, revealing that she made the bold decision to showcase her dedication to her craft and the depth she brings to her character.
To further prove how good she is as an actor, she shared a 15-year-old throwback photo of herself with a bald look, noting that she had always been known for daring hair choices. The movie star made it clear that letting go of her hair wasn’t about money, but the movie demanded a transformation and the unmatchable talent of the writer/producer.
Recently, Muyiwa Ademola left his fans in tears as he revealed plans to take off his cute mini-dreads for a movie role. According to him, actors can hardly keep such a style as roles would always demand altering it.
Similarly, Jide Awobona called out popular film director and screenwriter Abey Jomo over his epic transformation. He revealed that he was placed on a heavy, strict diet for his character and shared a screenshot of the strict rules he was given. Questioning what had been done to him, he lamented over the rules.
Also, Bukunmi Oluwasina had proven how far she could go in interpreting her movie roles by shaving her hair and going on a diet. According to her, in her ten years as an actor, this role was the most challenging and breathtaking role she had ever played. However, she was glad she could wear it like a dress.
Also, reality star-turned-actor Teddy A shared photos of himself from a movie set in Imo State, revealing that he is learning sign language. The actor said he is testing limits and still perfecting the craft.
