Nollywood actress Eberechukwu Bayray Nwizu has revealed that the Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) has emerged as a sought-after criterion for actresses aiming to secure coveted roles, especially from specific producers.
In a discussion on TVC’s program, Wake Up Nigeria, she expressed her observations that certain producers now prioritize social media sensations over raw talent, believing that these personalities can better promote their projects.
Despite acknowledging the industry’s advancements in capital and infrastructure, Nwizu voiced her concerns about the shifting casting preferences, particularly the increasing emphasis on Brazilian Butt Lift procedures.
“Ten years ago, it was you’re not fair enough, you’re not tall enough, you’re not full enough; now it’s you don’t have BBL.”
She acknowledged the profit-driven nature of the business, but she also stressed the need for balance and urged aspiring actors not to feel pressured to meet these new expectations.
She suggested an alternative path, noting, “The good news is that now you don’t have to conform to them. You can take advantage of the streaming platforms, start creating your own content, and grow. We don’t have any excuses any more. There are always going to be those who say, you have to do this to be in my movie.”
