WHY I CUT MY HAIR: MY BOLD TRANSFORMATION “
''I have always believed that to tell a story authentically, you must be willing to give everything to the role—even if it means stepping out of your comfort zone. This belief is what guided my decision to cut my hair for my ongoing movie, “AJA.” It wasn’t an easy decision, but for me, it was necessary to fully embody the character I’ve been entrusted to bring to life.
“AJA” is a powerful film, produced by the incredibly talented Titi Orire, and it tells a story that demands depth and transformation. We’re currently filming in Badagry, Nigeria, a location that adds to the richness and authenticity of the story. The movie features some of Nollywood’s finest talents, including Rotimi Fakunle, Bianca Ugowanne, Gbohunmi David and there’s a special appearance from a big name in the industry that I know will excite audiences.
For this role, I knew I had to go beyond just the dialogue and emotions; I needed to make a physical transformation that would connect me even deeper with the character. Cutting my hair wasn’t just about changing my appearance, it was about shedding my comfort and embracing a new side of myself for the sake of the story. I’ve always believed that as an actor, you have to be ready to push boundaries, and this role is definitely doing that for me.
This decision also reflects my dedication to my craft. I take acting seriously, and I believe in fully immersing myself in every role I take on. “AJA” is a unique project that will challenge me, and I’m ready to give it everything I have. It’s not just about looking the part, but becoming the character from the inside out.
I’m incredibly excited about what we’re creating with “AJA,” and I can’t wait for you all to experience this film. It’s a story that I believe will resonate with audiences, and I’m honored to be part of such a talented team. Thank you for your continued support as I take on this new chapter in my career.''

ReplyDeleteThe day I watched one Yoruba movie where Odunlade Adekola wrapped nylon on his head to portray being bald I was very angry in my spirit.
