An
intimidating figure, a litany of movie appearances and commendations,
when you throw in a unique acting aptitude, what you get is Opeyemi
Adetunji.
Acting has always been Opeyemi’s first love. The
actress who has featured in movies like Mopelola, Omo Alhaja 2, Omo
Ijoba, to mention just a few, told TheNewsGuru that she has always
wanted to be an actress.
“I have always had passion for acting. So it was a case of me deciding pursuing my passion for acting.
I was kind scared and timid when I went for my first audition. I was accompanied by a friend who really encouraged me”.
Opeyemi
isn’t one to undermine the challenges she encounter on her voyage to
the top. Being visible and getting roles has been her challenges so far
“Being
visible and getting roles has been a challenge. I know that it’s only a
matter of time.The pay is fair for now. When you are passionate about a
craft, you won’t think about the money as long as you are happy doing
it”.
Tales of sexual harassment is rife in the entertainment
industry globally. The Osun state born actress said whenever she gets
any hint of sexual harassment, she would quit.
“Sexual harassment
is my limit. If it gets out of hand and i can’t control it. I will
gladly quit. It is not a do or die affair”.
The journey to
success is often filled with thorns and detours,with many throwing in
the towel just before the taste of success. Opeyemi has experienced her
own fair share of such thorns.
“I have put my life at risk so many times because I had to be on a movie set. Most times I travel late at night”, she recounted.
The
busty actress insisted that she has a limit when it comes to playing
romantic scenes, adding that she can only be kissed but will not allow
her boobs to be touched in a movie.
Hear her: ”I can act a
romantic role, but I cannot go nude on set. I cannot allow my boobs to
be touched in a movie .Kissing is my limit when it comes to playing such
roles.
