Nollywood actress and producer, Bimbo Thomas, has opened up about her career journey, challenges, and personal experiences in the Nigerian movie industry during a recent episode of the Old Secrets Podcast.
The creative art graduate has carved a niche for herself both as an actress and a filmmaker.
Also, she reveals that she deliberately turned down some roles earlier in her career to avoid being stereotyped.
“I stopped small because I felt they wanted to box me,” Bimbo Thomas confessed.
She explained that many of the offers coming her way were similar and limiting.
According to her, she wanted to be known as a versatile actress capable of interpreting different characters rather than being confined to a single type of role.
Beyond acting, Bimbo has gone on to produce several of her own movies, proving her determination to contribute more to Nollywood beyond just being in front of the camera.
She noted that producing films gave her the freedom to tell unique stories that resonate with her vision.
The actress also touched on some of the rumours and misconceptions she has encountered in the industry.
She pointed out that while false narratives may circulate, she prefers to stay focused on her craft and achievements.
