Celebrated actress, Bimbo Ademoye, has said that she does not see herself the way people see her in terms of the level of success she has attained.
According to her, she still aims so high that she believes she is just starting.
“I don’t see myself the way people see me. I feel like I’m just starting. There’s a lot I haven’t done. Not that I’m rushing, but I haven’t directed my film yet. I haven’t made my cinema debut,” she says in an interview with ‘Saturday Punch’.
She adds that she has been carefully managed fame:
“Fame has blessed me, to be honest. I have been able to receive favours from people. Yet, I have managed to stay grounded and not let the fame get into my head. I don’t see myself as a famous person. I don’t even like the word ‘celebrity.’ I prefer being referred to as a ‘public figure.’”
Reflecting on the evolution of Nollywood, the award-winning actress expressed her excitement over the industry’s progress, saying,
“I am very happy with the changes I’m seeing in Nollywood. People are now taking their time to shoot better-quality content. I’m really impressed with the improvement in Nollywood. I would love to see more. I pray we can have a Tyler Perry-style studio where we can walk in and shoot different projects.”
