Kehinde Bankole, who stars in Netflix’s new limited series ‘Blood Sisters,’ has opened up about gaining weight for her part.
Bankole disclosed that she gained weight for her character Olayinka in a tweet earlier this week.
“Fitting day weight Vs Final shoot weight. A main personal character goal for me was for yinka to look much older than femi, fatter & definitely more domineering,” the actress wrote.
“Thanks to the guidance of the directors @kennethgyang & @biyibandele. Losing it back gradually #BloodSistersNetflix”
Olayinka Ademola, Bankole’s character in the series, quickly became a fan favourite, prompting the actress to join Twitter earlier this week.
The blockbuster criminal thriller premiered on the streaming service on May 5, 2022, and quickly rose to the top 10 in over 20 countries, including the UK and France.
Mo Abudu, the show’s Executive Producer and CEO of EbonyLife Studios, said on Tuesday that the miniseries has reached the highly sought worldwide top 10 list with 11 million views in its first week.
‘Blood Sisters,’ starring Ini Dima-Okojie and Nancy Isime, follows best friends on the run after one inadvertently murders the other’s violent fiancé.
Ramsey Nouah, Uche Jombo, Deyemi Okanlawon, Daniel Etim-Effiong, Toke Makinwa, and Ibrahim Suleiman feature in the Craig Freimond-directed series.
