Nollywood actress and filmmaker, Funke Akindele has recounted how she was denied playing major roles during her days as a struggling thespian because people tagged her as โ€œnot fine.โ€

Speaking in the latest episode of the TokeMoments podcast, hosted by Toke Makinwa, Akindele said she lost major roles even in Yoruba indigenous movies because of her physique.

She recalled that actress Iyabo Ojo helped her several times during her altercations with filmmakers who turned her down because of her looks.

The โ€˜Jenifa Diaryโ€™ actress said producers were giving her just minor roles which made her cry.

โ€œI remember people telling me, โ€˜You are not fine. You donโ€™t have ass. You donโ€™t have boobs. You will not be in this film,โ€ she recalled.

โ€œAnd, I remember crying. A lot of times I would cry, break down, get into the bathroom and cry.โ€
