Veteran actress Ebun Hodo maintains that relying solely on physical appearance and sex appeal is insufficient for achieving long-term success in the Nigerian movie industry. During an interview with Potpourri, Hodo argued that while many individuals pursue acting, only those with genuine substance secure lasting roles.
Hodo remarked that distributing sex appeal provides no real career path within Nollywood, suggesting that only unconventional methods like using juju might yield results for those lacking talent. She stressed that the industry demands a strong commitment to the craft, hard work, and actual passion.
Ultimately, the actress believes that longevity in the field is dictated by skill and the ability to portray characters with depth and conviction. She challenged aspiring actors to focus on their knowledge and artistic abilities rather than their aesthetic appeal to ensure they are truly cut out for the profession.
