Boma Akpore, BBNaija Season 6 Housemate and the first to enter the BBNaija House is already a Hollywood movie star.
BBNaija fans were surprised that the Yaba raised actor had made some impression in the U.S. movie industry with appearances in primetime TV shows, such as The Blacklist and Law & Order.
He also starred in ‘Brooklyn Coven’, ‘Protector of the Gods’ among several other flicks.
But Google search has revealed a lot about him before coming to the House.
Boma started out as a model representing Nigeria in Mr. Imperial Universe Contest 2016, winning Best Body and 2nd runner-up overall.
As a model, he also walked the runway in several fashion weeks including New York Fashion Week, while also promoting brands such as Nike, Adidas, Dior, Chase Bank, American Express among others.
He had played football before in Europe, with his career truncated by injury.
The New York resident has a plan to do a film project towards the end of this year in Lagos.
In August last year, Boma launched his own TV company called Bonzy Blues Global Partners.
In an interview with Ameyaw Deborah last year, Boma defined who he is.
“I’m an actor, but I’ve worn many hats throughout my years. I started out my career modeling and went on to represent Nigeria for Mr. imperial Universe 2016, and won Best Body Imperial Universe in 2016. From modeling, I decided to go full fledge into soccer as I’d always wanted, and went on to play Semi-Pro throughout Europe. Unfortunately, before signing pro, I experienced an injury, and my soccer career was short-lived. It was a tough time for me, but I couldn’t let that setback stop me. Having achieved so much through modeling, I returned to NYC and enrolled in New York Film Academy to take my career to the next level.”
