Interview: Model/Actress Nalu Odigwe (UK)

Can you tell us a little about you? 

I'm a Model, Actor, content creator and now also Author. I created my first book with the Uptime app "How to Break into the Modelling Industry' . It's a guide that breaks down all the key insights I've learnt over the past years in the modelling industry. I also love travelling and discovering new cultures, people and places.

If you could change anything about yourself, what would it be?

I would not change anything about myself. I think everything about me, even my imperfections and scars are unique and beautiful.

How did you start modelling?

I grew up in a creative household, my mum was an actress so I kinda fell into modelling at a young age, but I was scouted when I moved to London in 2016 and started modelling professionally since then. 

What do you think of the work as a model? 

It's a really fun job that I truly enjoy doing. There can be pressure at times but I'm used to it and have learned to love every minute of it. 

What is your beauty regimen?

Honestly it depends on what my skin needs. If I've been travelling a lot or having alot of makeup on set then I have a more intense routine. But usually my must haves:  Bioeffect Cleanser and Ole Heinriksen Peptide Moisturizer and I'm good to go. 

What are your personal qualities which distinguish you from others?

I would say my resilience and motivation which comes from my Faith. I'm also very determined once I say I'm doing something, I always find a way to get it done.  

What are your plans for the future?

An Oscar or two would be great. 

What are some of your favorite experiences so far?

I have so many that it's difficult to pick one, but I really love travelling for shoots in exciting locations. On the beach or climbing rocks I'm a kid at heart so I love anything adventurous. 

Do you have any advice for those who want to start modelling?

Like everything in Life you never know until you try and read my book "How to Break into the Modelling Industry" available on the Uptime App to find out more of my experiences and advice 

What do you think of the magazine?

I love it  and thank you so much for having me here.
