Biodun Okeowo is more popular as Tolani Osirin in the Yoruba movie industry. She told REPORTER, Lukmon Akintola, about her sexuality, the controversy surrounding her marital status and her style.

Can you narrate one of such circumstances?
Many men have come to me with money and have said I like you and I want to sleep with you, and I have turned them down. I have evidences, I told the last person, who tried it with me that if he has succeeded with other actresses in the movie industry, he should not try it with me because, even if I am hungry, I know what to do to put food on my table. I won’t resort to prostitution or doing runs. I am not bragging but I have proved it severally.

But you agree that most actresses are hustlers?
I don’t agree. If I say girls in the industry are hustlers, are other ladies outside the industry not doing it, or how do you single out a lady who is not an actress?

Because they want to be known through the make believe world, they start acting, while there are bad eggs coming into the movie industry. Someone, who has a name to protect, won’t think of hustling. Besides, I won’t want some men to watch me on television and start saying, oh! I slept with her last month and all it cost me was a N100, 000.
