Imisi’s Dream Finally Comes True As She Stars As An Actress In New Nollywood Movie
Imisi Ayanwale, the 23-year old and the Ibadan‑born fashion designer captured the hearts of millions across Nigeria and beyond with her authenticity, humour and resilience during her BBNaija journey, making her the winner of Big Brother Naija Season 10. Starring in Bolaji Ogunmola’s Christmas At The George’s, she charts a new career course.
During her time in the BBN house, she mentioned wanting to be an actress and now, her dreams are coming true. Her deserving win in October 2025, thrust her into the spotlight and set the stage for broader opportunities in entertainment like her current casting in the movie, Christmas At The George’s. The movie is already attracting attention because it signals how quickly Imisi is expanding her creative footprint beyond reality TV and fashion design into film. It starts showing on YouTube on 21st December, 2025 and it also happens to be Bolaji Ogunmola’s first Christmas film.
Imisi’s transition from BBNaija star to film actress is part of a growing trend where reality TV personalities leverage their visibility to break into Nollywood, one of Africa’s largest film industries. For Imisi, acting isn’t entirely new. Prior to BBNaija, she was known as a fashion designer with a flair for self‑expression and storytelling, qualities that naturally lend themselves to performance art. Her charisma on television has already shown she’s comfortable in front of the camera and capable of making emotional connections with audiences.
Imisi’s first movie role is more than just an acting debut, it’s a statement about her ambition and willingness to evolve creatively. Having conquered reality TV and cultivated a strong personal brand, this next step into film could be a launching pad for future roles across television, cinema, and digital content.
