Doesn’t Bother Me That People Tag Me As A Sex Symbol – Tonto Dike
Well, Tonto Dike is certainly one of the most interesting actresses in Nollywood right now. She’s one of the very few people that acts in “soft porn” films even in a society as conservative as ours. In a recent interview with Tribune, she talks about herself and people’s evaluation of her based on her roles in movies.
Excerpts
A lot of people make comments about you. Some don’t really know you, some haven’t even met you, yet, they just have this description or perception about you…
First of all, I will like to say I forgive anybody out there who thinks evil or nasty things about me. But coming to the point of what they say, are they saying those things because of what I do in the movies or they are saying these thing because they know my regular life? That is what I look out for and I find out that it is just from the movies, so, it’s okay. Whatever anybody says is okay. After the movie, Dirty Secret, a lot of people started saying Tonto is now a sex symbol. Well, no qualms.
How did you feel after that part you took in the movie?
It was really very beautiful. It was nice; I enjoyed every bit, working with everybody there and doing that movie. I think I just made a beautiful movie irrespective of the role.
You weren’t disturbed by the fact that there were lots of ‘immoralities’ in it?
No,
