June 05, (THEWILL) – Nollywood actress, Ini Edo, has stated that there are more disadvantages to being famous.
The beautiful actress made this known in the latest edition of Lillian Afegbai’s vlog.
She revealed that fame has its advantages, but it can also be “depriving.”
She added that a media house once told her that news about her is usually profiting even though it might be detrimental to her own brand.
“Fame will open doors for you, there is an exciting and downside part to it. The downside of it is that you don’t get to really do what you want.
“These days, it comes with the fact that some people think they know your life. For somebody like me, I think the world feel like they know everything about me.
“I literally grew up in the house of the public. Back in the days, we used to have magazines and newspapers. None of the blogs. And you wouldn’t have time to defend yourself.
“I remember coming out of my house and there was a newspaper stand that literally all the newspapers and magazines on it had pictures of me with all kinds of stories.
“I remember going to this media house to meet the publisher. The guy said there are so many celebrities whose pictures we can’t put on the cover of our paper, if we do, we don’t make sales.
“So whether you give us a story or not, we will find a story about you because we need to make sales, I was amazed.”
She also revealed that fame has more disadvantages than advantages.
“Fame is kind of distracting from the main thing we want to do. For me, I find it more limiting so I could say that the downside is more that the upside.”
