Leading Yoruba actress, Bombo Thomas in a new interview
with Potpourri spoke about the actor she would love to kiss
both locally and international, about how she can never be
friends with benefit with any man and how actresses are not
glorified prostitutes like people have termed them to be.
Which actor would you like to kiss?
Internationally, it’s Idris Elba, but lately I’ve had a crush on
Terrence Howard. Locally, it’s John Dumelo (Blushes).
Have you ever been friends with benefit with anybody?
No, I don’t subscribe to it. I’ve always had a smooth
arrangement with everybody I’ve come in contact with.
However, like the Kumi guy I told you about, we started out
as friends, and you know we ladies always know when guys
like us. But I, as a person, don’t like to drag it out of you. I’ll
act as if I can’t read between the lines. Anyway, we gradually
began a relationship, but I won’t even peck an ordinary friend;
it’s that bad.
It is believed that many actresses these days are glorified
prostitutes, what’s your take on that?
When people say things like that, I feel it’s their opinion,
which they have a right to. I have a lot of guys as friends and
I know that they like actresses, maybe because they can
boast with it that -they’re dating famous people. There are
many girls out there who can do whatever they like without
public scrutiny, but it’s not so for actresses. But why would
someone who is famous be prostituting when the attention of
the whole world is on her? It doesn’t make sense. Being
famous deprives one of doing certain things.
If anyone calls me with a strange number and starts saying
funny things like I like you, or I have so and so uncle I want
you to meet, I just block the person’s line straight away. I’m
not cut out for things like that. It takes a lot of effort for any
member of the opposite sex to be my friend. For whoever is
hiding under this umbrella to tarnish other people’s image, I
think they should be checked
