I’m not too fragile to play ghetto roles – Adunni Ade
Nollywood actress, Adunni Ade has sent a strong message to producers in the industry to stop limiting her to a particular role.
The movie star urged producers and directors to consider her for a wider range of roles highlighting her versatility, including speaking multiple languages.
She said in a recent interview, “A lot of times, maybe I’m being seen as fragile and sometimes it might limit roles that I’m given. I don’t want that. As fragile as I look, I can switch up. If you need me in that ghetto scene, I’m there. My switch game is top-notch. I’m also blessed to speak other languages. I need filmmakers to know that they don’t just stereotype me into certain characters. Call me, if you need me, I’m available. Let’s not think it’s all prim and proper. I can get dirty, if need be.”
The actress also shared her thoughts on the challenges faced in the industry but acknowledged that every industry has its unique challenges.
“With every industry, there’s ups and downs. I’m grateful to still partake in what I’m doing, still grace everyone’s screen, and hope that I do a great job portraying the character I find myself in. Nollywood is growing and getting the right recognition but it can only get better,” she said.
