Yetunde Alade
Tofarati Ige & Olushola Ricketts
Budding and talented actress, Yetunde
Alade’s name doesn’t ring a bell yet, but she is certainly making moves
to become a mega Nollywood sweeheart soon. In a recent chat with Sunday Scoop, Alade said that she has brought a new style of acting into the industry.
She said, “The way I act is unique to
me. I am a method actor, and I always submerge myself in any role that I
take. I believe that movies should not only entertain, but also teach
people important lessons of life. Whenever I take any role, I give it my
total attention and sometimes, I talk and behave like the characters
even off screen.”
Alade, who has appeared in over 30
films, says she’s preparing to shoot her first movie. “A lot of people
have asked me why I haven’t produced my own movie till this time. It is
because I want to come out with the best. I like to give my best efforts
to anything I set out to do,” she said.
Asked to mention her biggest challenge
as an actress, she said, “As far as I’m concerned, piracy is the biggest
problem Nollywood has. Imagine a situation where one invests his or her
life savings in a project, and someone else just sits in one corner and
fraudulently reaps the benefits of that investment. It is very wicked
and I think that is the first thing the government should deal with for
us in the entertainment industry.”
