I was at Silverbird Cinemas sometime last year, early 2010, and in the cnema hall, there was Funmi Iyanda and a couple of her friends. I believe the movie to be shown that day was 'Inception'. Funmi was such a loud mouth that evening before the movie started. She kept chatting in a loud voice, as if to make sure everyone in the cinema hall should know she was there. She would scream at the top of her voice and belched out silly laughter which sounded like she had a disturbed orgasm! To say many in the Cinema hall were disgusted, including me, would be putting it mildly. 'Oh, I was in South Africa and I met with Desmond Tutu!', she would scream, 'we had lunch...he was such a dear' and she would go and on about who she had met. Silly thwart! Mercifully, the movie started and she had to keep quiet..only for a while. That incident changed my opinion of her from an average presenter to an attention seeker. Now, with these pics of her with William Macy and co, I guess the next time she is at the cinemas, we nor go hear word again. Hisssssssssssssss
ReplyDeleteDid Funmi have work done on her face cos i don't remember her this beautiful, maybe her nose??
ReplyDeleteI have a crush on her since when I was a kid. I know someday I will marry her.
