This is one actress that has not relented in making the best of her acting abilities. i am proud of the fact that she is extending the african talent to the international community. Keep flying girl. you rock.
i think having foreign actors in local films seem to be the new trend but i am welcome to having more of Nigerian or African actors featuring in forein films. thanks Omotola you are really doing Naija proud.
i hope i am first to comment o.the babe is not taking it easy o, but i must confess she is not doing bad at all sha. and this her pic is undoubtably hot. i am feeling you all the way Omotola.
One fact we all cannot deny about Omotola is that she is talented and this red gown says it all about her sexy looks. somebody please tell me, is she not stunning?
sex symbol my ass! Tonto and Mercy are what you call sex symbols, not this mommy, abeg.
@ Anonymous 2.49pm - so somebody cannot be a sex symbol because she's a "mommy" as you put it? expand your mind, my person abeg. Is Taraji P. Henson, Nia Long, J-Lo, Salma Hayek, Halle Berry not mothers? They are still considered sexy women so why can't Omotola not be sexy?
There is a sexiness that is classy and a sexiness that is trashy. Omotola is the classy yet sexy kind that grown men fantasize about, them other chicks you mentioned are the types boys think are sexy until they meet a grown woman!
Linda dear, one of your Beauty of the Month that you featured here a few months back, Ebbe Bassey was a supporting actress in the film along with Ama K, Kimberly Elise and OmoTSexy. I saw it online, can't wait for the trailer because by all accounts, it is going to do major things for African films on an international level. It is time for a change.
@ Anonymous 2.18pm - I agree with you that it would be nice to see Nigerians/African actors in more Hollywood films because there are many actors of African origin residing in the States. I think that the intermingling of Hollywood actors in Nollywood/African films can help open those doors.
she luks awful in dat pics. like she had her face did,u know, like botox injection?
mehn this is how i expect omotola to be dressed, she is flamming hot here. If this is a recent picture then she must have fired her stylist since that grammy award disaster. I pray she keeps dressing like this. Her face was over photoshopped sha. wonder why because she is so beautiful and doesnt need all that airbrushing.
Wishing her all the best in her acting, looking forward to the movie
OMotola is NOT the first african to walk the grammy red carpet.Are you guys even serious?
Good for her. Hollywood meets Nollywood. She should wear more clothes like this please
Adiya
lmao @ comparing Omotola or mentioning her name in terms of looks with the likes of Taraji, Nia, JLO or Halle, what the heck?!
@ChiChiluv, i didn't say it was because she was a mommy, i said it because she looks like a mommy. nothing hot about her!
Femiluv u arent serious....if she had the opportunity that these ppl have to the best plastic surgeons, personal trainers, nannys makeup artists beauticians etc, she would be way more beautiful than all of them...except halle sha, who is on another planet of her own.
