Nollywood actress, Damilola Adegbite famous for her role as Telema in TV drama, Tinsel, has spoken up about her failed marriage to Tinsel co-actor, Chris Attoh.
The couple tied the knot in Ghana, Attoh’s home country, in 2015 but have since separated despite having a son. Although they have hardly spoken out about the cause of the separation, Adegbite has admitted that the lessons from that marriage are worth penning down in a book.
In a chat with Punch Newspaper’s Sunday Scoop, Adegbite said, “I learnt a lot from my past experience (in marriage) and I may have to write a book about it. There are quite a lot of things and I wouldn’t want to single out one. If I single it out, it may seem like the most important one when it’s not so; they are all very important.”
On if she will be willing to take another shot at marriage, Adegbite said, “Of course, why not? I never say never. This time, I will be looking out for a man; he has to be a man (in the real sense of the word). I don’t try to foresee things as I prefer to live in the moment”.
The actress also expressed that contrary to popular opinion, a marriage between two entertainers can be successful.
Speaking on her role in comedian AY’s recently premiered movie, Merry Men, she said, “It was an amazing one for me. I had a good time doing it. This was the first time I worked with AY and I really enjoyed it. However, my dream role is to be a Bond girl. I like the physical part of running and jumping; that’d be a bit more exciting than the drama we are used to in this side. I wouldn’t say I’m a tomboy but I like to work out and get active. Before agreeing to be in any movie, I check my character in it and the story in general; I have to connect to it before I can be part of it. I also consider the other actors that would be on the project”.
