The self acclaimed movielover was a tomboy while growing up until she took the vows of modelling and had to forsake her shorts and boot for gowns and heels. When she is given a script she does her best to get into her character as she had to see movies like legally blonde and the devil wears prada to help her properly portray Bimpe Adekoya on tinsel. When not on the set of any film she spends her time indoors. Thats her trick for staying off the media eye.

Linda Ejiofor is single but not searching but if she were in the market, she would be looking for God fearing, clear vision for self and family, good scentand a good sense of humour unlike the norm tall, black and handsome. So interested guys should adjust their status. Oh! and remember i didn’t tell you that.
