UK-based Nigerian actress, Olufunmilayo Olatunji, also known as Elleaboki, has revealed that she will reject any movie role that involves her displaying nudity.

Elleaboki said; “Nudity and sexually-related themes can make me turn down an acting role. I am a role model to many. I have my dignity, and I respect my religion so much.”

Despite seeing herself as a role model, Olatunji said she she has no role model in the movie industry, but she admires Kate Henshaw’s lifestyle.

On how she manages her career from her London base, Elleaboki said; “Anyone who would love to feature me in their projects would have notified me in advance, and I would confirm the date, before booking my flight ticket to come to Nigeria.”
