Efe Irele had shed more light on the physical and mental exertion of acting after Deyemi Okanlawon started the conversation.
Responding to a tweet by her colleague, the actress shared her personal struggles with dissociating from characters she plays.
She recalled how she suddenly became an angry person after shooting the film, Ire’s Ire where she played an angry woman.
She explained that when she films back to back, she begins questioning herself if she’s still keeping with character or has returned to her true self.
Efe Irele revealed that a lot of actors struggle with dissociating from characters and it takes a toll of their mental health.
She pointed that these practitioners are not having conversations about this norm either because they’re ashamed or scared to talk about it.
Irele advised that actors endeavour to take time away in order to find themselves after a job so they don’t lose themselves in the numerous characters they portray.
