Bimbo Thomas is an actress that has carved a name for herself in the acting world and plays all sorts of roles but the one that has stuck on her is “her as a gangster” – remember her in Omo Ghetto, Omo Iya Ijo and it seems she’s been stereotyped.
This is an excerpt fro a recent interview she granted ThisDay:
How do you feel when people look at you with that eye of a street girl or thug?
Surprisingly, people can see beyond that gangsterism. People saw that beyond that gangster that I portray there is a posh, calm, Bimbo Thomas. On a good day, you won’t see me use those slangs because I want people to see me differently from Nikky. Bimbo Thomas is gentle, I only do the street thing behind the camera, when the director says, action.
