ABIDEMI: Clear Danger In Movie Industry That Sees To Exit of Highly Talented Actors – Details.
Abidemi Adisa, one of the Nollywood actress of the Yoruba extraction has disclosed that sex-for-role syndrome is a clear and present danger in the movie industry as it has driven some highly talented, well-meaning actors out of the industry.
According to her, “It sure does exist and it is one of the things driving many talented people away from the Nigerian movie industry. This is not even limited to actresses, but men too are sometimes victims. But we can’t stereotype Nollywood for this because it sure does exist in other Industries as well.”
“Luckily for me, no one has ever asked me for sex for a role because I’m not desperate for stardom”. She added.
Abidemi said, “My passion for the make-believe industry drove me into acting. I always appreciate how great actors interpret roles and make people believe it is a real occurrence. This greatly influenced my decision to take up acting as a career”.
It was reliably gathered that Abidemi Adisa learned the rudiments of acting under the veteran actor, Mr Saidi Balogun and she had starred in quite a number of movie productions such as: Violence part 1&2, Bisola Peperenpe, Tani, Durotimi, Ire, Asiri Pepe, Akete, etc.
According to information, the delectable actress had 3 movies she had produced herself namely Ota, Ojiji Ife, Bidemi Jagba 1 & 2.
Abidemi is currently working on a new project she’s planning to shoot in the United Kingdom and Nigeria. The title is “Iku Ore”. It is a story of a lady that pleases her friend in every way but who doesn’t care about herself.
