- Bukky Wright has opened up on why she took a break from her acting career after moving to the US.
- The movie star also revealed she is back to acting and ready to juggle it with her other activities.
- Wright made the clarification in a recent interview she had.
Actress Bukky Wright has shed light on her hiatus from acting after relocating to the United States, explaining how her career took a new direction during her time abroad.
In an interview with The Punch, Bukky disclosed that she ventured into the tech industry, a path many doubted she could pursue successfully. She said:
“I will be practising it [tech] simultaneously with entertainment. The fact that I had to deviate totally from entertainment to tech was something many people thought I would not be able to do. I would tell all my mentees that if I can do it, they can do it too.”
Reflecting on her time away, the actress revealed what she missed most about Nigeria. Her words:
“What I would love to eat again would be proper Naija amala. What I would like to do again would be to act with Nollywood actors.”
Addressing her much-anticipated return to Nollywood, Bukky Wright assured fans of exciting projects in the pipeline. She teased:
“I have a lot for fans, including my project—‘The Return of Omotara Johnson,’ which is coming, and a whole lot of other things. I am back to stay.”
When asked about her ageless looks, she attributed it to prioritising rest, saying, “I don’t joke with my beauty sleep.”
Bukky is among the star-studded cast of the upcoming movie Something About The Briggs, slated for release on January 31.
The film also features Daniel Etim Effiong, Ariyike Dimples, Norbert Young, Gloria Young, Rita Dominic, Iyabo Ojo, Stan Nze, Kenneth Okolie, Kalu Ikeagwu, Linda Ejiofor, Kanaga Jnr, Elma Mbadiwe, Simi Drey, Tubosun Aiyedehin, Zack Orji and Liz Benson-Ameye.
