Nollywood Actress Adesua Etomi- Wellington Makes It On Vogue Magazine Cover, Joins Other Astounding Women From Around The Globe

Get to Know 9 of the World’s Most Famous Actresses With Hollywood, Nollywood, Bollywood Squared!: they are Angelababy, Bruna Marquezine, Deepika Padukone, Adesua Etomi-Wellington, Doona Bae,…

What is the measure of success for these women? Is it box-office numbers? Instagram followers? Number of bodyguards required when traveling? Work they find rewarding? Or could it be, in some formula yet to be identified, degrees of separation from Adam Driver? (Three of these actresses have starred opposite him—Johansson, Rohrwacher, and Golshifteh Farahani.) The women gathered here are not, it should be said, one another’s exact equivalents.

Indeed, she brings up, of the four movies that have done best for the generally youthful industry, she is in three. “I adore, love, love Nollywood,” Etomi-Wellington says splendidly over tea and bread rolls at at the shoot. “I feel like she’s my child, and it’s my duty, alongside a ton of different entertainers, to develop her.”
