“I never dated any actor”- Bimbo Akintola reveals

Nollywood actress Bimbo Akintola has shared her reasons for not dating other actors in the course of her career.

The veteran disclosed that she has never dated any actors in her profession as she sees them as her brothers in the industry.

“No, I never dated any actor at any point in my career; I don’t like you people. I’ve never been attracted to an actor so to speak. All of you are my brothers, straight. It’s not about the kind of men I’m attached to; I just wasn’t attracted to people in the workplace.” she said.

Akintola clarified that although some actors have asked her out, she has never been interested in dating her colleagues since she tries to keep her private and professional lives separate.

She asked, “My frame of mind when I come to work is the frame of work of an actor who wants to be professional, so I don’t see you as dateable people, all of you. I don’t see it. We have really handsome actors but I’ve never thought of dating any one of them…honestly. It doesn’t mean they didn’t toast me though.”

She was also questioned about how she avoided controversy during her career. In response, she disclosed that she had once been the subject of some false information.

“When I first started, there was a lot of controversy and all sorts of things written about me; horrible stuff. There was a part where people were saying I don’t wear underwear. I think what it is is that news like that flies and sells so you have more traction and more people on the blog and people buying the papers. People want to read about funny things like that, it’s even better now, back then they used to cook up stories, all sorts of stories” She explained.
