According to a report by The Nation, Nollywood actress Ronke Oshodi-Oke has shed light on the striking difference between her real-life personality and the larger-than-life image she portrays in the public eye.
The actress, whose real name is Ibironke Ojo-Anthony, made it clear that the Ronke Oshodi-Oke seen on screen and at public events is a completely different person from who she truly is.
“Ibironke is different from Ronke Oshodi; they are two different people,” she explained. “Ibironke is a calm person who doesn’t go out. Wherever you see her at a party, just know she has been paid and has collected something because I don’t party like that and I don’t joke with money.”
The actress emphasized that, unlike her onscreen roles or the public perception of her as a lively and outspoken personality, she is actually reserved and prefers a quiet life. She admitted that she rarely attends social gatherings unless there is a business aspect involved.
“Ronke Oshodi-Oke, on the other hand, could be a tout today, be calm tomorrow, and a mother the next; she could be anything,” she added. “But Ibironke is calm.”
Her revelation highlights the often-overlooked reality of public figures who maintain distinct personalities in their personal and professional lives. Many fans may assume that the lively and dramatic characters she plays on screen reflect her real-life personality, but the actress clarified that she values her peace and only steps into the spotlight when necessary.
Over the years, Ronke Oshodi-Oke has built a reputation as a versatile actress known for her comedic timing and powerful roles in Nollywood movies. Despite her humorous and sometimes loud on-screen characters, she maintains that her private life is the exact opposite, prioritizing a calm and quiet existence.
Her comments also underline the fact that actors, like other professionals, often separate their work personas from their true selves. While she may embody various roles in the entertainment industry, Ibironke remains a private individual who cherishes her personal space and values financial stability over social outings.
