Media personality Toke Makinwa has opened up about her unfulfilled Hollywood dream while celebrating the milestone of starring in her fifth movie.
The renowned on-air personality expressed her gratitude as she reflected on her growth in Nollywood, now embarking on her 5th movie role.
She mentioned the many sacrifices she has made in pursuit of her acting dreams, highlighting her commitment to achieving her goals.
Toke Makinwa also shared how she relocated to Los Angeles in hopes of becoming the next Nigerian to break into Hollywood, but unfortunately, that dream did not come to fruition. Despite the setback, she remains proud of her journey and accomplishments in the industry.
Her words: “5 movies with yours truly, the second half of the year and I’m fully in my Acting Bag. Thankful for growth, grateful for versatile roles too. I’m really doing this guys. There has been a lot of sacrifice too. I’ve missed out on so much fun things happening but there’ll always be time to turn up some more. Once I commit to something, I chase it with everything.
“3 years ago I moved to LA with the thought of becoming the next Nigerian to break into the world of Actibg out there, I was so sure it was the next move, started taking classes too. God said not yet. But gave me room to grow back home.
“I look back now and I’m thankful it didn’t happen cos I was not half as confident or even good or ready for the job. Today I’ve grown, I’m still learning but I’m much more confident. The dream is not wrong, the timing must be right to protect you.”
