Nollywood actress Yvonne Jegede has said that looks are a significant factor in thriving in the Nigerian movie industry. She recently acknowledged the importance of talents when it comes to getting roles, and fans have been reacting.
In an interview on Hip TV, Jegede revealed that looks are absolutely key in Nollywood because they attract viewers to the movie.

According to her, however, while a fine face gives you an edge as an actor, many other moviestars have succeeded through other means.
Yvonne stated that beauty being an important factor is nothing new in any entertainment industry across the globe.
“There are so many things actors can rely on. It’s not just looks. But then again, looks is very important because it’s showbiz. It’s what you show people that’s what brings business so appearance matters a lot.
However, a lot of people have been able to get on by doing other things. Not necessarily looks. But if you want to rely on your looks, if that’s your best foot, bring it forward. I mean, it happens in every other industry,” she wrote.
The former vixen further expressed satisfaction with her earnings as an actress, stressing that it pays most of her bills.
She concluded by saying that actors who have paid their dues should be fairly compensated based on their experience and achievements.
“I can’t speak for everybody, but for me, Nollywood pays the bills. Not all the bills, but it does pay the bills. So, I’m very good. I’m very happy with where we are now in Nollywood compared to before.
It depends on your milestone and it depends on the dues you’ve paid. I believe if you’ve been here long enough and you’ve paid your dues, you will definitely be paid your worth,” she added.
