Veteran actress Ego Boyo stresses the importance of dressing professionally for movie auditions, likening them to job interviews. Reacting to a viral video of Ngozi Ezeonu scolding aspiring actresses for inappropriate attire, Boyo emphasizes the need for professionalism in the entertainment industry, encouraging proper presentation.
Veteran Nollywood actress Ego Boyo has shared her views on the importance of dressing appropriately for movie auditions. Reacting to a viral video of actress Ngozi Ezeonu reprimanding two aspiring actresses for not wearing bras to an audition, Boyo emphasized that auditions should be treated as seriously as job interviews.
In a post shared on Thursday, Boyo expressed frustration with what she described as "stupid hot take" on the matter. She stated that how you present yourself at an audition is a reflection of how you expect to be treated. "An audition is a job interview! Dress appropriately," she wrote, urging her colleagues and upcoming actors to take their profession seriously.
This statement adds to the ongoing debate sparked by Ezeonu’s video, which has received mixed reactions online. Some viewers supported Ezeonu’s stance on proper attire, while others disagreed, arguing that one actress doesn’t have to dictate how others should dress.
Boyo, however, defended the idea, stating that the entertainment industry deserves the same level of professionalism as any other job, and dressing appropriately should be a basic expectation. Her comments are a reminder of the standards that should be upheld in the industry, especially as new talent enters the scene.
