Beautiful Nollywood actress and scriptwriter, Adebanke Adeyeye better known as Debanke, has identified the qualities she looks out for in the opposite sex.
According to the Ondo State-born thespian, she is attracted to men who wear palm slippers.
She made the disclosure in a recent interview with Potpourri, where she also said she likes men who are smart and hard-working.
Debanke said: “I like smart and hard-working guys, nice cologne and I like guys on palm slippers so I can see the feet if they are clean or not.
The petit actress went on to admit that good looks attract a lot of ladies, but she is different as she is more attracted to a man’s intelligence.
“Being beautiful and sexy is good and both qualities can get you places. But for me, I’m attracted to intelligent people, not their beauty or their sexiness,” she added.
The actress who specialises in Yoruba movies also said despite knowing she was meant to be an entertainer from childhood, the dishonesty in the movie industry almost stopped her from choosing the career path.
“I have always known that I would be an entertainer right from my primary school days because I was always engaged in social life and many people complimented me and advised my mom to support me to go into acting.
“But an unsavoury experience at the beginning almost got me discouraged. When I wrote a story and gave it to a marketer to help me produce it, he went ahead to produce my story for another person.
“I cried the day I heard he’s shooting it and the day the movie came out. But life goes as my dream is bigger than that,” she said.
Debanke who studied Mass Communications at the Polytechnic, Ibadan has won the hearts of many movie lovers in films like Addiction, Elesan, Nkan Egbin, Deep Silence, Dark Room, Time and many more
