How many movies have you done this year?
I’ve featured in so many movies but my own movie, the first one I produced, was Ife Okan 1 & 2
What was the first movie you did?
That was Kamadupe in 2011, a film produced and directed by Odunlade Adekola
What are the titles of the movies you’ve done?
I featured in Sokofun, Alalubarika, Kamadupe, Dabira, Asake Oni Bread, Adura mi ti gba, so many, I can’t even remember
What do you look out for when you see a script, or you just feature in any movie?
I get so many calls to feature in films and each script I get I scrutinize it to see what my character is like. Sometimes when I am not okay with my character I call the producer to say I am not comfortable with it. But as a good actress, any character given to me, I should be able to act it
How daring can you be in a movie, can you do something that would shock people?
You know this thing is acting. If I get the script right, I’ll try and sit down, cool myself, go through the script and I’ll think okay, let me do it this way, let me do it that way. I don’t know how to put it but I can play any role; just try and watch Ife Okan, you’ll see what I’m talking about
Did you do any raunchy scene in it?
Nothing of such, but I guess I did a little more than that. My character went crazy, like mad, all those stuffs. I don’t want to tell you everything, just go and watch the movie
What is your greatest fear in acting?
When I was on location at Ife Okan and my director told me that I was going to go mad, I was like “Ah, mad, me? I don’t want to run mad o” and my director was like “Bukky, you are an actress, you have to do it” because I bear my real name Bukola in the movie, it was a bit spooky for me to play that ‘mad woman’ role. The thought of Bukola going mad in a movie was a bit hard for me to do but as a good actress I did it and did it well.
What has been your most embarrassing moment so far since you got into Nollywood?
There have been lots of embarrassing moments. Sometimes a girl comes to you on location to accuse you of dating the boss, who’s producing the film and questions you, and even attack you for dating her boyfriend. This happens sometimes and you may not even have any idea of what she was talking about because you are not dating anybody on set.
Has any fan ever done anything strange to you?
Yeah, it happens sometimes. Some fans come to really appreciate you for what you do as an actress while others come to provoke you. There are many who have expressed their desire to date me but I have been able to turn them away nicely because I am engaged.
What has been your most memorable moment so far?
That was the day I was presented an Award as the Most Fast Rising Female Actress in Ogun State. I think it was in November or so this year, at Ogun State All Stars and Recognition Awards
What do you consider the sexiest part of your body?
I like my stature; I have a very good stature, I like my set of teeth, I’m okay.
Your set of teeth?
My set of teeth
Which one do you get compliments more for, is it your boobs or your ass?
You know some guys are funny; some people would be like “Are you Bukola Ogundare, I saw you in this movie, I like your stature, I like your ass, I like the way you act”, you know, they say all sorts of things. As for me, I have to play along with them, so I don’t seem rude. But sometimes I want to ask: “Why are you telling me you like my ass?” instead I just play along because they are all fans. If they are not fans, they wouldn’t have watched my films at all.
What is your greatest desire on earth?
I want to have a happy home, long life. I want to be a role model to others, most of all, have a happy home.
How many kids are you planning on having?
Just four.
Who inspired you to become an actress?
I have always wanted to be an actress. When I was in Primary School, I was a member of the drama group and we did cultural dances, stage plays and all those stuffs. It was from there I picked an interest in acting. After that so many people told me to go into acting because they thought I was very good at it.
Who do you look forward to working with in the industry?
I’m looking forward to working with Funke Akindele, Toyin Aimakhu and Mercy Aigbe
What do you want to tell your fans?
I want to tell them that they should keep watching our movies. Nobody is perfect but as time goes on, we will try to correct some things we’re doing. They should keep praying for us and they should help us plead with Government to help us. Piracy is killing us big time, even my first movie I saw a pirated copy with my two naked eyes but I couldn’t do anything about it. I plead with them not to buy pirated copies, they should try and buy original copies and I’m also thanking them for buying our movies because if there are no fans, we won’t be here.
