Dayo Amusa Says it is Okay for Actors to Live Fake Lifestyles

Nollywood actress, Dayo Amusa has given a nod to the need for actors to live fake lives on social media. This was in an interview with Punch, where she spoke on the kind of lives actors live.

According to her, their profession is a make-believe art so nothing is real about them. Giving an illustration of how she is in her home and what she depicts on social media, the actress says she wouldn’t want to disappoint her fans.

Excerpts from Dayo Amusa’s interview below;

You have to brand yourself and make people see that you can promote their products well through the lifestyle you depict. If that is what people mean by fake life then it is fine. As an artiste, we live in a make-believe world which means that 80 per cent of the things you see us do on screen and even on social media are make-believe.

It is totally different from my personality. I might be at home and choose to tie a piece of cloth round my waist and drink garri. But if I would go on social media, I would not want to do that because some of my fans would be disappointed.

I am not advising young women to pretend to be who they are not. What I am saying is that as an artiste, we need to ‘show’ for the business to grow. I am a very realistic person and I do not see myself as one of those fake ones.

Recall that some celebrities have in the past, called actors out for being fake.
