Actors, actresses face equal measure of challenges - Mo Bimpe

Rising Nollywood star, Mo Bimpe has weighed in on the perceived belief that actresses face more daunting challenges than their male counterparts in the film industry.

In an exclusive chat with The Nation, Mo Bimpe stressed that challenges in the Nigerian film industry aren’t peculiar to a gender. “I think it is both ways.”

Continuing, she said, “We face the same tough challenges in the industry. A lot of people have been through so many things that I always say that I have never experienced. I think it is individual differences not gender-related.”

The sultry actress got herself a nomination for her role in the film, ‘Adebimpe Omo’ba’ at the 2020 Africa Magic Viewers Choice Awards.

Recently, Adebimpe addressed the widespread claims of her supposed age stating that she is not 23 years old.

Mo Bimpe said many of her fans and followers got confused because of her habit of counting down to 23 every year.

“I think people got it twisted because I usually countdown to 23 every year and that is because my birthday is March 23”, she said. “I’m in my very late 20’s though.”

Speaking further, Mo Bimpe revealed why she doesn’t pay attention to negative news about her saying, “90% of the news online about me are false so what’s the point? Bloggers don’t verify the news. They just put one or two together and publish rubbish. So they use people with fans to drag traffic.”
