Popular Nigerian actress, Kehinde Bankole recently opened up about the conditions under which she would consider appearing nude in movies.
During a viral podcast discussion, Bankole was asked whether she would ever take on a nude role.
She clarified that she is not entirely opposed to the idea, as her participation would depend on the critical factor that the scene must be integral to the story.
The actress said that she would only consider such a role if it was crucial to the storyline and necessary for the development of her character. “As far as it is intelligently required, not just because it is required. Sometimes, you do not need nudity, you do not need excessive kissing, you do not need all of that to tell a good story,” she said.
She further clarified her stance by giving an example: “For instance, if a couple has been married for 10 years, you do not need to start the scene by showing them in a sexual act.”
While acknowledging that her position could be misunderstood, Bankole emphasised that she would only agree to nude scenes if they are “artistically necessary.”
She also mentioned that, “I do not like that question because the answer would always be taken out of context. This is the internet, after all. I will just say that I can do what is artistically required.”
