I want to be appreciated for my talent not my body – Mo Bewa

Nollywood actress, Omobewaji Oyediji, popularly known as Mo Bewa, has said she will like to be appreciated for her talent and not her body.

She said that she frown upon people who pay more attention to her physical looks rather than her talent on screen.

Speaking in an interview with Punch, Bewaji noted that it is not her fault that God blessed her with good looks.

She said;

“Sorry to those who choose to focus on my sex appeal at the expense of my talent. I am a fantastic actress. But, being sexy is not the only good thing about me. I have so much to offer with the talents God has blessed me with. I don’t even pay attention to those who choose my sex appeal over my talent. It is not my fault that God decided to make me look this good.

My experience in the movie industry has been alright. I did not exactly have a soft landing. Things were tough in the beginning; but with consistency, diligence and God, things are much better now.”

it is tough for actresses to find love. Popular culture and society in general make some people feel that being an actress in Nigeria is not a noble job. It is unfortunate that most men are buying into that too.

However, I believe that when one find one’s man, he will understand. I cannot be with a man who would judge me because of my work.”
