Movie star, Laide Bakare has made a shocking confession.

She said; “Whether you are an actress or not, even the ugly ones, people get admirers. It’s a general thing. It doesnt have anything to do with your work, it depends on who you are, how disciplined you are. It’s all about discipline, and everybody in your life should understand your person and be free.”

“I have other side businesses but the mother of them all is movie-making. So, any other thing that comes out of it is just secondary.”

“I wouldn’t jeopardize what made me because I have been Laide Bakare since age 16. So, I don’t think it is something I would want to drop.”

“Most of the time I don’t read about myself. So, I dont really know the misconception people have about me. I live a public life, so anybody can have any kind of impression about me, and it doesnt define who I am.”

“I see it as part of the job. A lot of people will have bad or good impression about me, so it’s left for them to decide what to hold on to. It’s not about me and it doesn’t matter.”

“Nothing that has been said about me has actually got to me. Most of the time, I am preoccupied with other things, living my life. So, anything about me out there, either positive or negative, I really don’t care.”

“It’s not a regret, it’s just a little concern when people try to define you without even knowing the real you. What you have in mind is not the impression out there.”

“People don’t see you the way you are, so it’s not just really what I want for myself. Everything is moving and with time you get better.”

“A lot, because I started off when I was 16 years old and that’s what I have been doing. So, I owe to the industry everything I have achieved in my life, I mean everything.”

“Never try to be the good girl. I tried it, I wanted to be the good girl and I deprived myself of so many things. I didn’t want to go to a club and mix with lots of people, especially the opposite sex. So, for a period in my life, I tried to play that part.”

“I thought I was doing the right thing, but opportunities passed me by because I really didn’t want to do some things because the impression might be wrong.”

“People may say she dated this (person) before she achieved this and that. So, for me, I really deprived myself of so many things in life, because I wanted to be that good girl, and as clean as possible.”

“I realized that you can never be, even if you are Mary, mother of Jesus, in the long run, they will still talk about you. Just be you, anything that makes you happy, just do it.”

“I don’t know how my phone number gets to people and they call me randomly. So, I stopped picking unknown numbers for a long time.”

“But I get text messages such as I like you and all of that, and I will be like I don’t even know you. So, I don’t pick calls I don’t know. It happens a lot to women, and even if you are ugly, men will still call you.”

“Sometimes people would say I like your ass; it happens every time.”
