Actress, Mojisola Adebanjo, has called on the public to see actors as professionals rather than judging them based on the roles they portray on screen.
Speaking in an interview with Saturday Beats, Adebanjo addressed common misconceptions that often affect the personal lives and relationships of actors, particularly actresses.
According to her, many people enter relationships with actresses carrying preconceived notions, such as assumptions that they are flirtatious, disloyal, or constantly seeking attention because of the nature of their work.
She said, “Misconceptions are brutal. ‘Actresses are flirty,’ ‘public women can’t be loyal,’ ‘she’s always busy.’ The ‘actresses are like this or that’ stereotype is exhausting.
“People assume you’re always acting, always unavailable, or always chasing clout. Those stereotypes make people bring insecurity into relationships from day one. Serious partners sometimes struggle with the hours, the kissing scenes, or being in the public eye. I would like them to just see us as professionals. For example, a male medical doctor who attends to women is not misjudged because of his career path.” Related News Fresh drama as Mr Ibu’s wife, children trade allegations over financial help Entertainers must prepare for life beyond fame — Ijebu Etinosa excites fans with ‘Oga Bulldozer’
