Yvonne Jegede Shaves Head, Learns Yoruba for New Movie Role, Faces Mixed Reactions
Nollywood actress Yvonne Jegede has gone bald for her latest role, proving her commitment to her craft by embracing a significant transformation. In an Instagram video, Jegede shared the shaving process, explaining her belief in fully stepping into her characters—even if it means moving beyond her comfort zone.
For Jegede, this transformation isn’t just about looks. She’s also learning to speak Yoruba to accurately portray her role, highlighting her dedication to authenticity. “I love my job too much not to take risks,” she wrote. “If the script deserves it, I will do whatever needs to be done to give the story life. AJA is a love story… A provoking story that will have you on your feet.”
Her decision, however, has sparked mixed reactions. Some fans praised her dedication, while others questioned if the drastic step was necessary, suggesting that makeup could have achieved a similar result.
Nigerian singer Asake speaks on his music career and stated how growing up in Lagos shaped his career and experiences.
In a recent interview, the singer shared how Lagos groomed him and taught him how to live:
“Lagos taught me how to live like a man. Lagos inspired most of my songs,” he said.
“I’m happy because there are a lot of people who make music out there and a lot of people who are more talented than me. I’m thankful to God that I’m able to use the talent He gave me not only locally but also globally. So for that, I give all thanks to God.”
Nigerian reality star and actor Adeoluwa Okusaga, also known as Saga, shares that kissing scenes on screen are not something actors actually enjoy.
The actor shared in a recent interview that kissing is usually scripted and often has no real emotion attached to it.
“It is not easy to kiss another actor. It is weird. I have not really had any good onscreen kiss. It is weird having people invade your mouth with saliva.
“It is not something we enjoy. People think we enjoy it, but we don’t. We are just doing it for the story most times. If I had my way, I won’t kiss anyone in a film… There was a day I kissed four different girls on set.”
Nigerian actress Tonto Dikeh speaks on her failed marriage and the truth behind it. It can be noted that the actress was previously married to Churchill.
The actress revealed that she was the one who paid for their wedding, stating that she even paid for his outfit.
