Nollywood actress Bimbo Akintola opened up about her decision to avoid dating fellow actors throughout her career.
In an interview with 3PLE Nolly TV, she explained that she views her colleagues as brothers in the industry.
She said, “No, I never dated any actor at any point in my career; I don’t like you people. I’ve never been attracted to an actor so to speak. All of you are my brothers, straight. It’s not about the kind of men I’m attached to; I just wasn’t attracted to people in the workplace.”
Akintola emphasized that she prefers to maintain professionalism on set and has never been interested in dating her coworkers, even though some actors have shown interest in her.
She added, “My frame of mind when I come to work is the frame of mind of an actor who wants to be professional, so I don’t see you as dateable people, all of you. I don’t see it. We have really handsome actors but I’ve never thought of dating any one of them… honestly. It doesn’t mean they didn’t toast me though.”
When asked how she managed to avoid controversies in her career, Akintola shared that there were some false rumors about her in the past.
She explained, “When I first started, there was a lot of controversy and all sorts of things written about me; horrible stuff. There was a part where people were saying I don’t wear underwear. I think what it is is that news like that flies and sells, so you have more traction and more people on the blog and people buying the papers. People want to read about funny things like that. It’s even better now; back then they used to cook up all sorts of stories.”
