Yvonne Orji, the breakout star of HBO's new show Insecure, stopped by the studio on Friday to talk with 'The Breakfast Club'. Yvonne talked about playing a sexually free character named Molly on the show while being a 32-year-old virgin in real life. Yvonne also talked about her Nigerian roots, strong faith, and her first big break.
Cliff notes:
-Says she's a virgin at 32 years of age and waiting until marriage
-Explains being saved by the words of a preacher sista at her university
-Says it's a choice because she's religious
-Discusses the type of men she's into:
Must be religious, Nigerian, Yoruba, college educated, preferably a lawyer or a doctor because her parents are traditional Africans who want her to marry well.
Which one of yall men will make an honest woman out of Yvonne, brehs?
.She may not be a virgin but she was definitely acting out them sex roles on tv sure damn good
It's not the same as playing a racist character but not being racist, or any other character that sways from your actual real life persona because those people aren't claiming a level of "purity". In fact, if you're an actor, for the most part you have no purity because you have to expose yourself to thoughts, ideals and actions that are not pure in order to get into character and play said character with a level of integrity.Yvonne Orji, the breakout star of HBO's new show Insecure, stopped by the studio on Friday to talk with 'The Breakfast Club'.

Dj envy is actually the king of dumb comments. i think he had one on here when i listened
Breh its a catch 22 everyone wants their daughter to be successful but theyre not thinking about the dating environment. If I had a daughter I'd tell her to shoot for the starts but be realistic. If you know you're career oriented woman you need to find a simp, overly nice nikka while shes IN COLLEGE. Who only wants to support her. A guy who is attractive, ambitious, with a strong personality will only replace a wife who is never at home, doesn't cook or clean and is only about her career. esp if he's Nigerian
Oh hell No!Same. Save me a spot in the nunnery along with @Giselle, smh!
The other problem with raising west African daughters this way is the taboo of having a bf/gf while you're in school. Then your parents expect you to finish school and go from never having dated in your life to marriage in a year
only other option for those type of Nigerian American-British-Canadian women are non- Nigerian dudes- who definitely cheat also Lazy also but no one hears about it because they aren't technically part of Nigerian community.
With the life that Yvonne lives(Hollywood+Money), shes better of dating a white dude- who will probably cheat or be lazy but at least her family and friends won't know about it.
. You get a bunch of highly accomplished pretty women who are terrible partners because they never dated
cook
