Actresses must be ready to undress anywhere – Omo Butty

Popular Yoruba actress Biodun Okeowo aka Omo Butty shared her experience as an actress and a few other interesting stuff with SPICE. Brief excerpt...

I hail from Remo, Ogun State, but I grew up in Fadeyi, Lagos. I am from a polygamous home, and I am the last of my mother’s five children. My mother raised us single-handedly because she lived apart from my dad.

Acting
I began my acting career in 2006 under the tutelage of Ray Eyiwunmi Organisation. Even though my mother never wanted me to become an actress, my father supported me when I made my intention to become an actress known. With time, I was able to convince her that I would do well as an actress. Lasun Ray Eyiwunmi was the first person who believed in me and I remain grateful to him...

Back then, we were also taught that you must be able to undress anywhere and change into costumes because you can be called to perform anywhere and anytime. You also need to have a good body; that way you can play any role and would not feel bad about undressing when there is a need to do so.

Nickname
I got the nickname, Omo Butty, from a movie of the same title. The movie was produced by me and I acted the lead role. It was a hit with fans and they loved my performance in the film.

Scandals
I prefer to focus on my career, and I don’t like to discuss my personal life. However, Kunle Adegbite is a colleague and friend; that we are often seen together does not mean we are dating. Regarding the man who claimed that he slept with me; he later confessed that we have never met. That incident actually affected the way I relate with fans. Now, I am very careful about accepting gifts from male fans. Some people will offer you gifts as fans, and they will go behind your back to say something else. And you know after a man has given you a gift, it will be difficult to snub the person.

Romance
As regards marriage, keep your fingers crossed as anything can happen at any time. My ideal man must be handsome, God-fearing and caring.
