My Mum Passed On Her Hips To Me With Vengeance – Omotola Jalade Ekeinde

The bootylicious mum of 4, actress and TIME Icon said, in a recent interview with Encomium, that she inherited her physical endowment from her mother and how it’s been a struggle for her to stay slim as her job requires.

• What is the secret of your radiant look?

There is no major secret. That’s the truth. Most of them were inherited. I inherited the good stuff, so also the bad one.

If you see my mom’s picture, she actually looked like a young girl. Till she passed on, we used to call her forever young,even before that song came out. My mom had a teenager look, even when she was almost 50. She was a very hippy and curvy woman.

That, she passed on to me with vengeance. That’s why it has been a very big struggle for me to stay as slim as my job requires.

• But people are saying you had done an implant that perhaps brought out you hips…

I have also heard that but there is nothing like that. I have never done any surgery or implant. It’s just me being extremely careful and conscious of my body, job and everything. Naturally, as a human being, sometimes i get it perfectly right, sometimes, the body just does what it wants to do. I just keep trying.
