Osas Ighodaro, an American-Nigerian actress, has shared candid details about her upbringing and journey into the performing arts.
During a recent Pulse One-on-One broadcast, the actress discussed her childhood and how she became famous. She emphasized that, although growing up in America, she was reared in a home that was exclusively Nigerian.
“What was childhood like for you? What was growing up like?” asked Elvis Christian, the host.
She responded, “Well, I grew up in New York, born and raised with my siblings and my parents. And even though I grew up there, I grew up in a very Naija household. Even outside the house, it’s like, ‘Remember who your family is and behave yourself, but yeah, it was a beautiful upbringing.”
When asked about her introduction to acting, Osas revealed a transformative experience during her teenage years, adding that her parents initially did not allow her to take up a career in acting.
“I had to do a lot of convincing and crying, but I think I’m also stubborn; I’m a strong-headed individual when I want something.”
Osas disclosed that the first time she came in contact with the craft was after going through modelling school, and then she fell in love with acting.
She narrated, “I had low self-esteem growing up, and they put me in modelling school. I went through that experience, and after that, the president of that school offered me a scholarship to take acting classes. I wasn’t exposed to acting till I was 13, then I took my first acting class, and I never turned back since, and I was like, ‘What is this? I want to indulge in this craft of acting.’ So I’ve never turned back since.”
Every actor has his or her unique pathway while pursuing acting.
Live with Purpose, Love with Passion. Remember to be happy
One ❤️❤️❤️
