I needed my husband’s permission for a role, Toyin Abraham

Nollywood actress and filmmaker Toyin Abraham has opened up on how she needed her husband’s permission for a movie role.

In an interview with PulseNG on Friday, Toyin revealed that Niyi Akinmolayan, the producer for the movie ‘Elevator baby’, had to ask her husband for permission.

The actress stated that she was perfect for the role because she was seven months pregnant with her son at that time.

“I was pregnant with Ireoluwa, and Ire will be 6 in August, when we shot this movie. When I got pregnant, I didn’t want people to know. So, I got a call from Mr Niyi and he said there is a scene that I would do and they would do make-up for me as a pregnant woman. It is actually not my movie, it is Antar Hills, and I am like ‘Did you know I am pregnant?’, and I was like 7 months,” she said.

She also stared that her husband agreed to her playing the role and also showed his support by being present on set.

“I told him he had to ask my husband if he would agree. He came to the house and spoke to my husband, and he agreed. My husband was on set, and two nurses were on set. It was a crázy shoot but I enjoyed myself,” she said.
