My ultimate goal as an actor is to win and keep Winning” – Temidayo Babatunde

In the fast-paced world of Nollywood, where talent meets fierce competition, one actress continues to shine—Temidayo Babatunde.

With unwavering ambition, undeniable passion, and a growing list of film credits, she is carving a unique space for herself in the industry.

For Temidayo, acting is more than just a career. It is a calling, a form of expression that fuels her every move. She believes actors should embrace every opportunity, refusing to limit themselves to specific roles.

“As an actor, we shouldn’t have any limitations,” she emphasized. “I want to explore all kinds of roles, but I especially love historical films. If I get the chance to portray a real-life character, I’ll be beyond thrilled.”

This openness to diverse roles reflects her dedication to growth and versatility—two qualities essential for longevity in Nollywood.

Embracing talent and appearance

In Nollywood, talent often takes center stage, but physical appearance can also play a role in career success. Temidayo openly acknowledges this reality and embraces the advantages that come with it.

“My selling point is my face and body shape,” she admitted with a laugh. “I’ve even landed roles I didn’t necessarily qualify for—just because of my looks. And I’m happy about it!”

While some may find this perspective controversial, she remains confident in her abilities. She believes that every opportunity should be maximized, regardless of how it comes.

Championing feminism and equality

Beyond the screen, Temidayo is a strong advocate for equality. She proudly identifies as an intersectional feminist, believing in fairness for all, regardless of gender, race, or social status.

“Feminism allows people to see the world not just as it is, but as it could be,” she explained. To her, feminism is about more than just women’s rights—it is about ensuring that everyone has a fair shot at success.

Her views extend to personal relationships as well. Intelligence, she insists, is a must-have trait in a partner.

“Smart, educated, and good-looking—that’s what attracts me 100%,” she revealed. “Nobody wants to date a dullard!”

For her, age is not a barrier when it comes to love.

“You should be with someone who makes you happy, no matter their age,” she stated firmly.

Motherhood and career balance

Among her proudest achievements, one stands above the rest—the year she became a mother.

“The year I gave birth to my son was a defining moment in my life,” she shared. Balancing motherhood and a thriving career has been challenging, but it is a journey she embraces wholeheartedly.
