Actress Bayray Nwizu revealed a surprising truth about the Nigerian film industry (Nollywood).
According to her, aspiring actresses seeking to succeed in the industry often feel pressured to undergo a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) in order to secure lucrative movie roles.
The actor revealed this while recently appearing on TVC’s ‘Wake Up Nigeria‘ program.
She bemoaned the loss of raw talent in the Nigerian film business, pointing out that infrastructure and capital have improved over time as producers have shifted to leveraging social media sensations to boost their movies.
She stated that while manufacturers must make a profit, there must also be a balance.
In her words:
“Ten years ago, it was you’re not fair enough, you’re not tall enough, you’re not full enough; now it’s you don’t have BBL.
“The good news is that now you don’t have to conform to them. You can take advantage of any of the streaming platforms, start creating your own content, and grow. We don’t have any excuses anymore. There are always going to be those who say, you have to do this to be in my movie.”
