In the competitive world of Nollywood, Temidayo Babatunde stands out as a passionate and ambitious actress determined to make her mark.
With a growing filmography, a bold approach to acting, and a deep love for storytelling, she continues to push boundaries in the industry.
For her, acting is more than just a job—it’s a passion that drives her every move. She believes that as an actor, one should be open to all kinds of roles and experiences.
“I think as an actor, we shouldn’t have any limitations,” she said. “I want to explore every kind of role, but I would love to work in movies based on history. If I get an opportunity to play a real character in the future, I’ll be more than happy.”
The desire to dive into different genres and cultures shows dedication to growth and versatility in Nollywood.
While talent is crucial in Nollywood, physical appearance can sometimes be an advantage. Temidayo openly acknowledges this reality and embraces the fact that her looks have helped her career.
“My selling point is my face and body shape… Lol,” she admitted “I have actually been given a role I didn’t merit because of my looks. I’m so happy I look this way!”
While some might see this as controversial, she remains confident in her talent and believes that opportunities should be maximized in every way possible.
Temidayo describes herself as an intersectional feminist, believing in equality for all people, regardless of gender, race, or social status.
“Feminism allows people to look at the world not as it is, but how it could be,” she explains. For her, feminism isn’t just about women’s rights—it’s about making sure everyone gets a fair chance in life.
When it comes to relationships, intelligence is non-negotiable for her.
“Once you are smart, educated, and good-looking, those characteristics turn me on and make me want to come close to you 100%,” she confided. “No one wants to date a dullard, lol!”
She also firmly believed that age is just a number when it comes to love.
“You can date whoever makes you happy in every aspect,” she stated, reinforcing that happiness and connection matter more than age differences.
Among her greatest personal milestones is the year she became a mother.
“The year I gave birth to my son,” she said was a defining moment in her life, balancing the joy of motherhood with her professional ambitions.
