Iconic actress, Bimbo Akintola, was
recently spotted at an event looking trimmed down and ravishing. Known
to spark off controversy, it was not surprising when many people
attributed her new looks to liposuction.
When confronted with the question, the actress explained that her new look was as a result of rigorous hours of exercises.
She said, “I do a lot of exercise. I did
not do liposuction. If you go to Eko Gym, I am usually there by 5:40am
and I work out for hours. But anytime I am shooting a movie, I hardly
have time to go to the gym.”
The actress who played the part of Dr.
Ameyo Adadevoh in the critically acclaimed movie, 93 Days, told Saturday
Beats that so far, that role has been the toughest she has embarked on
in her career.
“The
storyline was great but it was a difficult task because we had to act
like some people, some of them are not with us any longer. Also, the
fact that they did so much to save us during the Ebola crisis made it a
tough job. They did not choose to become heroes but when they realised
what was happening, that the Ebola virus was in the country, they did
not run away. They stood up to the challenge and became heroes and
heroines. We must understand that some of them died for us, so we must
respect that and honour them. It was a very challenging role for me. I
had to portray Dr. Adadevoh’s courage. I had to show that she was a
mother to so many people and she had principles by which she lived.
“I had to show her stubbornness because
if she was not stubborn, the story would have been totally different and
those are what I tried to channel; show people who she was, her ideals
and beliefs. It is my most challenging role. I think it is extremely
important that we tell our own stories. Other people cannot tell it like
we would do. I am tired of people telling our story for us, so when I
was approached with the script, I was very excited. Then it dawned on me
after reading the script and realising what she did, I began to shake. I
began to have nightmares. She was such an amazing woman,” she said.
