Yvonne, who has been around for a while now has made it known in a recent interview with Encomium magazine that she doesn’t expose her boobs like her colleagues in the movie industry.

I don’t expose my cleavage, it was a photo shoot. You don’t see me walking on the street with my cleavage hanging out. It was a photo shoot. I felt I have some features that people should know of. Even with that, some people still believe that she has a lot of boobs but no behind, that is wrong.

I am coming out to showcase. I think the older I get, the more comfortable I am in my skin. You get secured, more confident with age. If I feel very comfortable showing off my curves, my cleavage, excuse me, it is my body. But I will not walk around naked. I wear whatever I am comfortable with.

The actress who left Nigeria for America for further studies immediately after featuring in 2face’s “African Queen” video.

She studied International Relations in a University in Cyprus and also made it known that she is not in anyway threatened by any of her colleagues she left behind in the movie industry. She said:

You are there, you have fame, money, good for you. I have a degree, I still have the opportunity to be what I want to be. I think I am one of the best actresses. Whatever it is that they have achieved, I can also achieve, even better. I still respect them because they are my senior colleagues, but it doesn’t change the fact that I am Yvonne Jegede. I still do my best whenever I am on set.

She however explained that her comeback has not been a rosy experience as many movie makers feel her face alone cannot sell their movies.

It wasn’t easy, a lot of people said face cannot sell movie, some will even ask if I can still act. It was one or two people that have been using me. Information travels far when you are on set, that is how a producer kept on giving others my contact.
If anybody should call and ask about the movie they were shooting and the cast, they will give me referral, that was how the word went around and people kept on calling.

Meanwhile, the actress who is a great fan of Genevieve Nnaji and Omoni Oboli a few months back, landed in a messy breast surgery scandal upon her return to the movie industry.
