It might have been the Showmax original series, Flawsome, that brought actresses, Bisola Aiyeola and Sharon Ooja together, but the bond between them has gone from ordinary cast members to more than mere associates or friends.

This became evident when Sharon Ooja got married recently at a viral and celebrated wedding hashtagged #CrazyAboutUs24. Not only did Bisola take centre stage at the thick of things, she was the Chief Bridesmaid and led the other  Flawsome ladies – Enado Odigie and Ini Dima-Okojie  to grace the wedding of their friend and cast member, Sharon Ooja Nwoke as she got married to her husband, Ugo Nwoke on Saturday, June 29, 2024.

#CrazyAboutUs24 is reminiscent of the Flawsome story and how these friends who have their struggles put their lives on hold to deal with problems that arise as each episode of the Showmax Original series progresses.

The second season of the show which finale ended in May has always highlighted the importance of meaningful and close-knit friendships. In a past interview with Bisola Aiyeola, she highlighted that she was very happy to work with her best friend, Sharon, on the project.

She said: “No one has the formula for life. I think these awesomely flawed women just hang on to their friendship, and it’s that friendship that keeps them going. So to whoever is watching, it’s kind of important that they have close-knit friendships where they can draw inspiration from, and I was very happy doing this with my best friend Sharon.”

 During #CrazyAboutUS24, we’ve seen them cry together, share their excitement, and hype each other up while defending each other simultaneously. Ultimately, they’ve shown a narrative of female friendships that most are not used to seeing on display in real life.

Over the years, Bisola and Sharon have simultaneously shared how essential their female friendships are and how committed they are to fostering those friendships. It was exhilarating for many to see the joy they both bring out from each other.
