Many men are afraid of dating actresses – Mojisola Adebanjo

Mojisola Adebanjo, an actress and director, claims that many Nigerian men find it difficult to date and trust actresses since they are always surrounded by people and have a lot published about them.

“From my experience, many guys find it difficult to be in committed relationships with actresses,” she told Sunday Scoop. It is frequently difficult for them to trust us because they believe we are always in their faces, especially given all of the tales about actresses. Many guys are truly afraid to date actresses.”

She described her first experience on a movie set as follows, “My first experience was a sweet one. I had mixed feelings; I was excited and scared at the same time because there were many popular actors there. However, I finally summoned courage to do what I had always loved and wanted to do. I had to resign from my regular job to face my acting career.”

On if she feels Nollywood is ‘friendly’ towards women, the actress said, “Yes, the industry is friendly to women. If a woman knows what she wants and is good at what she does too, the industry will be friendly towards her.”

The actress also stated that though she could marry a younger lover, the age difference should not be too wide. “There is nothing is wrong with marrying a younger lover. Like they say, ‘age is just a number’. However, I prefer my man older than me, but not too old. I love men who are mature, understanding, and think outside the box.”
