On-screen, an actor is multi-faceted, possessing the ability to camouflage into any role and to take on the form of any character. One of such actors who has been able to pull off the perfect Ying-Yang character diversity is our Woman Crush Wednesday, Sola Sobowale.
We are listing 4 reasons we love her characters.
She’s hilarious, obviously
Her role in the 2016 high grossing movie, The Wedding Party, placed the veteran Nollywood actress in a comedic spotlight which isn’t an unusual role for her.
She’s the life of the party
She reminds us of that one aunt who is always turned up and ready to dance her shoes off at every party. She’s loud and all over the place but there’s never a dull moment with her so she always gets re-invited.
Her word is “Law”
As the main character in the just-released movie, King of Boys, we saw a sterner side to the actress. Now, while this doesn’t translate to reality or the actress’ true character, we definitely don’t want to be standing when Alhaja Eniola Salami instructs us to sit down.
She’s the typical African mother
African mothers are unique and special, but a few of their idiosyncrasies can trigger hair-pulling moments of frustration. One of such moments we can relate to is from a scene in The Wedding Party Part 1 when Dunni Coker’s (Adesua Etomi) wedding gown got torn because of her mom (aka Sobowale) who kept stepping on it, though unintentionally.
