Why I took a break from acting after moving to America — Bukky Wright


 

Nollywood actress, Bukky Wright has opened up about the years she took off acting after relocating to the United States.

The veteran actress during a recent interview with The Punch explained that her career took a different turn after moving abroad.

She disclosed that she ventured into the tech industry, a path many doubted she could pursue successfully.

She said, “I will be practising it [tech] simultaneously with entertainment. The fact that I had to deviate totally from entertainment to tech was something many people thought I would not be able to do. I would tell all my mentees that if I can do it, they can do it too.”

Reflecting on her time away, the actress revealed what she missed most about Nigeria.

“What I would love to eat again would be proper Naija amala. What I would like to do again would be to act with Nollywood actors,” she said.

The 57-year-old actress while addressing fans over the much-anticipated return to Nollywood, assured that her projects will be exciting.

She teased, “I have a lot for fans, including my project—‘The Return of Omotara Johnson,’ which is coming, and a whole lot of other things. I am back to stay.”

“When asked about her ageless looks, she attributed it to prioritising rest, saying, “I don’t joke with my beauty sleep.”
