Veteran Nigerian actor Bimbo Manuel has made a bold statement about the financial realities of actors in Nollywood, asserting that no actor can afford to buy a high-end vehicle like a Range Rover purely from their acting fees.
Speaking as a guest on TVC, the 66-year-old actor discussed the financial challenges faced by male actors in the Nigerian movie industry. He pointed out that many actors who flaunt expensive cars and luxurious homes are living beyond their means. āThe actors you see flaunting Range Rovers and mansions in Ikoyi are living fake lives,ā Manuel said. āThere is no actor in Nigeria that would say he or she can buy a Range Rover from acting fees alone.ā
Manuelās comments shine a light on the often-overlooked financial struggles that many Nollywood actors face, despite their visibility and popularity. The statement has sparked conversation about the realities of the entertainment industry and the pressure on actors to maintain a certain image.
