Former Big Brother Naija reality show star cum movie actor, Tobi Bakre has talked about some of the things he had to do for his recent movie role.<\/p>\n

He revealed that he did all manner of gritty stuff to fit into his role in \u2018Gangs of Lagos<\/em>\u2019, a feisty crime thriller.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tobi played Obalola, a street King (Eleniyi \u2013 the owner of men) who started up nondescript with a childhood nested with scars of little beginning.<\/span><\/p>\n

He said it was his first time playing a lead character, and the first time he really let himself go to embody a character.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tobi Bakre<\/a> who was on the recent episode of Menisms audiovisual podcast said:<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

\u201c<\/span>For \u2018Gangs of Lagos\u2019, that was challenging because like for the first time\u2026 you know as guys now, we build so many walls like you are ready for all the possible sad outcomes in life mentally. Like you don\u2019t know it but\u2026 I was now playing the role of a strong guy but then in the same movie, he had moments when he had to be vulnerable. Bro, I had the toughest time. I had to tear my walls down.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cYou know those plastic [herbal bitters] drinks na? I drank two within the space of five minutes. I just felt like I drank water because I didn\u2019t feel anything. I was listening to the saddest music. This is the song I always remember from Gangs of Lagos, Celia song by Tiwa Savage. It is a very emotional song. I wasn\u2019t trying to fake it [my role]. I needed to be actually sad, I needed to be there. So, I was putting myself in the scenario of this character.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI was self-reflecting. There was a graveyard right in front of where we were shooting. So my head was in different places. And eventually, we shot that scene. After we shot it, and they said \u2018cut\u2019, everyone stayed quiet. And people in the background were sobbing. It was almost as if for that moment everybody forgot that we were acting and some people were actually tearing up.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The ex-TV reality star<\/a> said he rolled on the floor and rubbed sand on his face to fit into the role.<\/span><\/p>\n

He, however, said his challenging task was the character\u2019s vulnerability. The father of one added that he struggled to leave the character for a while after the movie. In his words:<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

\u201cIt [the character] leads sometimes like my wife now when I got home initially\u2026 Hardly, anger is the last emotion you can get but my fuse became shorter. On the road I\u2019m driving, my fuse is a bit shorter because of this character I\u2019m currently infusing. So, after the whole thing I had to just ease out.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u2018Gangs of Lagos\u2019<\/em><\/a>, produced and directed by Jade Osiberu, is the first African Original for video streaming platform, Amazon Prime.<\/span><\/p>\n

The movie follows the story of three friends: Obalola (Tobi Bakre), Gift (Adesua Etomi-Wellington) and Ify (Chike-Ezekpeazu Osebuka), who each have to navigate their own destiny, growing up on the rough and bustling streets of Isale Eko, Lagos.<\/span><\/p>\n

It hit the screens on April 7, 2023.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
