Yoruba Nollywood star actress, Wumi Toriola had a general interaction with Punch newspaper about her way of dressing, her acting career, her big backside etc. We have decided to bring to you a very interesting aspect of that interview – her bumbum and boobs. Thanks to Punch.
Are you always conscious of your backside?
I am always conscious of it. What some other people would wear and get away with, I may not be able to wear such. There are things I would really wish to wear but when I wear them, I would be noticed so easily. I wouldn’t want to be the centre of attention. At times, I just want to be at the background but if I wear such, there is no way everybody wouldn’t notice me because of my bum.
But these days ladies go as far as wearing padded bum in order for their backside to be bigger. How come you are not comfortable with yours that is even natural?
The fact that I have it does not mean I have to put extra pressure in order for it to be noticed. No matter what I wear, even if it is a maxi free gown, my backside would still be noticed. So I don’t have to go to the level of wearing things that would accentuate it. To me, it is better to leave some things to be imagined than to flaunt it. I just want people to really imagine what is there than to flaunt it for them.
But do you show off your cleavage when it comes to your top?
Sometimes, I would just want to flaunt my top to take away attention from my backside and tell people that I am not all about big bum. But I don’t really show it all. I still have some level of decency in me. Decency varies. I hardly dress so sexy except when I am on set and the character demands I do that.
Do you get a lot of male attention because of your figure?
It is crazy. It is very crazy I must confess. Some don’t even bother ‘toasting’ me again. Once they see me, they would just make some remarks or whistle and they would expect me to understand. Some just make funny noise like ‘wow!’ Before now, I used to be very embarrassed but I am getting used to it now. I am always conscious of my figure and like I said earlier, I want to leave some things to be imagined. I don’t want to show everything to everybody and make it look as if it is just common.
