I Gained Popularity Through Social Media Not Movies – Efia Odo
Budding actress, Andrea Owusu known in showbiz as Efia Odo has said her rise to stardom was via social media and not through movies as has been speculated by a section of the public.
The ‘Royal Diadem’ actress noted that she got more followers on social media than the movies she has starred in. This she explained is because of her sexy pictures she posts there.
Aside her social media ‘sexy’ body display, the 26 years old also added that her outspoken personality is a factor to her popularity.
Efia Odo Speaks
“I made my name because of Instagram and because of the kind of pictures I post on social media. I’ve read comments that people ask ‘why is this girl a celebrity’? And it’s not like I haven’t done movies but I haven’t done a lot for my name to be popular. It’s all about my Instagram pictures, my provocative ways or my outspoken personality and not because of my movies. Some people will think is because of ‘Heels and Sneakers’ but I have been shooting before ‘Heels and Sneakers’. So it’s not because of the movies that I’m known for Efia Odo but I’m known because of social media.”
She told Sammy Flex on Zylofon FM.
Efia Odo works as a nurse assistant in the US and makes good money for herself.
The vivacious actress said directors and producers are not giving her roles to play. This was when she was asked why she is not mostly features in movies.
“It’s not my fault that I’m not referred to as a known actress because they aren’t calling me. They aren’t giving me jobs. Kofi Asamoah said the reason why he always casts the known faces in his movies is because they are good to him. They respect his works and will not waste his time to go and call the up and coming actors since they are disrespectful. But I can’t speak for them because I’m not like that but he (Kofi Asamoah) doesn’t know that, she added.
Efia is noted by many for what they describe as her ‘indecent exposure’ of her body on social media. She was recently back lashed by many Ghanaians when she released sizzling pictures of her bikini photo shoots.
