Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 82035, member: 636"] Bimbo Thomas wrecked her own bag just to escape playing street thugs forever. The actress told Chude Jideonwo she deliberately rejected gritty roles after getting famous via Funke Akindele’s Omo Ghetto. Thomas insisted that sticking with one character type traps performers in a creative box. She wanted to show range instead of repeating the same tough persona constantly. That choice cost her heavily. She admitted that work dried up immediately, while money became scarce. Thomas confessed that the timing was terrible since she lacked deep industry roots back then. Even personal relationships suffered during this drought. Life got harder when she paused for motherhood. The star revealed that brand deals were the only thing keeping her afloat. She believes producing content earlier might have fixed these issues. [/QUOTE]
