Blessing Effiom Egbe is a writer, producer, director, actress and ex-model; she wears many hats including that of a lover of art.
The ‘Lekki Wives’ and ‘The Ten Virgins’ producer expressed in a Twitter thread that she missed the mystery of actors and felt that modern actors in a bid to improve their brand have ‘become too accessible’ prioritising money over the beauty of the craft. She advised that actors put in more effort to immerse themselves in their characters.
I miss the MYSTERY of actors. I miss BELIEVING their act on SCREEN. They put out so much of themselves & their everyday lives on social media that we no longer can separate their screen life from the real. It is even worse for actors who can't CHANGE or BECOME a character.
