Bimbo Akintola Speaks about her life, career and controversies as she makes a come back on the big screen

Bimbo Akintola is perhaps one of the most versatile actresses in Nollywood. From her role as Tutsy Adigwe in ‘Out of Bounds’ with Richard Mofe-Damijo to her role in Ego Boyo’s ‘Keeping Faith’, Bimbo always delivers.  She won the award of Best Actress/English Actress in Nigeria from the Out of Bounds movie and has gone on to star in several award winning movies.

The Theatre Arts graduate of University of Ibadan started her acting career in the movie ‘Owo Blow’ which launched her into mainstream Nollywood. She has also featured in other movies such as The Mourning After, Diamond Ring, Dangerous Twins, and 90th Day.
Bimbo will be making a come back on the big screen in Dimeji Ajibola’s flick, Hoodrush, Nollywood’s first musical thriller. She speaks to Bellanaija’s Adeola Adeyemo about her life, career, and more in this exclusive interview.

Bimbo Akintola is one actress I greatly admire. However, I don’t get to see her in movies as often as I would love to. So when I heard she was going to be on one of the most anticipated movies of this year, Hoodrush, I was happy to hear she was back on the scene. Bimbo struck me as a very down to earth person and she doesn’t have any excuses for her opinions. Chatting with her was very interesting and revealing.
