“To impress who?” – Ngozi Ezeonu blasts ladies without bras at audition
Veteran Nollywood actress Ngozi Ezeonu has criticized young ladies for attending auditions in revealing outfits, especially those without bras.
A TikTok video shared by @mrdoingscartel on Wednesday captured the seasoned actress addressing two ladies during an audition in Lagos.
She disapproved of their choice to attend the event without bras, querying their intentions and lamenting how frequent it has become.
Ezeonu, 58, renowned for her roles in Nollywood classics like Glamour Girls and Living in Bondage, stated firmly, “Any day I’m on any audition table and anyone comes to me dressed like this, I will disqualify that person.”
As one of the judges at the Lagos audition, she emphasized that such attire is not only inappropriate but also detrimental to the reputation of aspiring actors.
“Who are you trying to impress? That’s why people see us as unserious. I’m a serious-minded actor; you can’t catch me dressed like this, even when I was your age,” she emphasized.
The clip has sparked widespread reactions on social media. While many commended the veteran star for advocating decency and professionalism, others debated the relevance of her views in the entertainment industry of today which has evolved beyond her generation’s morals.
