Filmmakers now force actors to become content creators – Jemima Osunde

Daily Post Nigeria Filmmakers now force actors to become content creators – Jemima Osunde Home News Politics Metro Entertainment Sport Entertainment Filmmakers now force actors to become content creators – Jemima Osunde Published on April 5, 2025 By Sunny Green Itodo Nollywood actress Jemima Osunde has spoken out about recent factors influencing the casting of actors in the Nigerian movie industry. The movie star claimed that filmmakers are now pressuring actors to become social media content creators before casting them in their films. Osunde made this claim in a recent conversation with her colleague, Jammal Ibrahim.

She said: “Now, it’s as though they [filmmakers] are forcing every actor to be a social media content creator before casting them. It’s as if you must dance on the internet to get roles. Why? “It’s like if you’re not an actor with a strong social media presence, we’re not casting you because we need you to sell our film.



That shouldn’t be the actor’s job.” Jammal Ibrahim added: “That’s where good management comes in. I’ll give you an example: I told my management that I don’t know how to dance.

I’m a terrible dancer. So, a good manager would look at you and say, ‘Okay, this is your personality. How can we work with who you are to make you better?’ Not, ‘How can we push you to be everyone else?’ “If you’re doing a PR stunt for a film and you’re going to be dancing, seriously, I’m not going to be part of it, unless I feel like the dance is something I can actually do.

I don’t want to look stupid on screen. It’s just not my personality.” Related Topics: filmmaker Jemima Osunde Don't Miss I was raped by my colleague – Radio host Lolo You may like ‘He’s not my husband’ – Jemima Osunde clarifies relationship with Super Eagles invitee, Arokodare I’ve been fighting for my life for past three years – Jemima Osunde opens up on health challenge Why I didn’t audition for BBNaija Season 6 – Jemima Osunde BBNaija 2021: Jemima Osunde slams those calling for Ebuka’s replacement as host Osun: Police arrest civil servant, filmmaker over alleged rape of teenager Good sex better than money – Nollywood actress, Jemima Osunde Advertise About Us Contact Us Privacy-Policy Terms Copyright © Daily Post Media Ltd.
