Kehinde Bankole, an award-winning Nigerian actress, has established guidelines for accepting n*de roles in films.
During a recent podcast interview, Bankole was asked about her willingness to perform n*de sequences on TV.
In response, the actress stated that n*dity and graphic scenes are not always necessary for delivering a compelling narrative in cinema.
According to Bankole, such stuff should only be presented if it is truly relevant to the topic.
“As far as it is intelligently required, not just because it is required. Sometimes, you do not need n*dity, you do not need excessive kissing, you do not need all of that to tell a good story,” she said.
“For example, if a couple has been married for 10 years, you do not need to start the scene by showing them in a sexual act.”
Although the actress expressed concern that her opinion might be misinterpreted, she said she would only take on n*de roles if they are “artistically required”.
“I do not like that question because the answer would always be taken out of context. This is the internet, after all. I will just say that I can do what is artistically required,” she added.
Bankole made her acting debut in the family drama ‘Super Story: Everything It Takes’ as Caro.
Since then, she has starred in numerous Nollywood productions, including ‘Adire’, ‘Sister’, and ‘Funmilayo Ransome Kuti’.
She recently won the Best Actress award at the Africa Magic Viewers Choice Awards (AMVCA).
