Popular Nollywood actress Ayo Adesanya has cleared the perception that people in the movie industry are affluent and are swimming in wealth.
One of the perceptions a lot of people have about movie players is the fact that they are well-to-do and are swimming in wealth. Actress Ayo has said that it is the opposite.
During an interview on the Mindset Podcast, Ayo Adesanya disclosed that most people have the notion that actors and actresses are rich but it’s a lie because most have nothing.
“Many people have the notion that because Nollywood is big, practitioners are well paid.” She said, before revealing it was a big fat ugly lie people delude themselves with.
“But, how much do we earn?” she asked, rhetorically.
We have fame, but we don’t make money. However, it is left for the actor to use that fame to get money, through brand endorsements and other avenues.
“It is very lonely being a celebrity, contrary to what people think. People think that as a celebrity, one has the whole world at one’s feet. It is actually very lonely.” She revealed.
“People assume that a celeb’s life is all rosy and lively. However, everything boils down to the individual and how they want to live their lives so that it doesn’t become lonely and boring.”
