Nollywood actress, Ini Edo, has revealed that she didn’t set out to be an actress, it only came to her.
According to her, her childhood dream was to be a lawyer or a newscaster.
She disclosed this in an interview with popular Nigerian media personality, Chude Jideonwo.
“I wanted to be a lawyer or newscaster. My role model was the late Tokunbo Ajayi. I always loved to watch her news. That is actually who I wanted to be like. I never really thought that I was going to be an actor.
“I have always been in the arts in school, church, you know. But then I went to do a Theater Art diploma when I was waiting for my JAMB to go do Law. Then I started doing stage acting. The opportunity to go to the film came, and I just became an actor. It was destiny,” she indicated.
She added that her family initially didn’t support her decision to become an actress.
However, it was a movie director, Ikenna Igwe who came to her house to convince her parents to let her do the film.
