Nollywood actress Bimbo Akintola discussed her choice to avoid dating other actors in her career.
In an interview with 3PLE Nolly TV, she mentioned that she considers her colleagues as brothers in their professional field.
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 shared that she likes to maintain a professional work environment, so she has never been interested in dating her coworkers, even though some actors have asked her out.
She asked, “My frame of mind when I come to work is the frame of work 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.”
The host asked Akintola how she avoided controversies in her career. She explained that there was some false news 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 stories, all sorts of stories.
