Known for her roles in movies like "Itiju and "Mopelola," the single mother who is fondly called G-money in the movie terrain opens up on how her son inspired her decision to go into acting. She also talks about what she thinks about sex for roles that is thriving in the movie industry, amongst other issues.
My son's featuring in a movie gave me my first role in a movie. A producer wanted to feature him in a particular scene in his movie but he couldn't do it anymore. So, he saw me with him and suggested that I should try out a scene .
After I did, they were impressed that I gave acting a chance. Since then, I have not looked back as God has continued to bless me. I simply do it for the passion. Passion drives me, not fame, not money. If it's for the money I would have left the industry a long time ago.
My most challenging movie role was when I had to act like an imbecile .It was very challenging for me because before then, I never really saw myself bringing that character to life. I had to do it because I am a professional and I get paid for bringing characters to life. I am currently working on a new movie titled Aworan Ife, which will be released soon.
I can never star in a soft-porn movie .I cannot expose my body .I won't do it. I am a mother and I want to be perceived in a good way .I don't want a situation whereby my son and his friends will be watching a movie years from now, and they will see his mother playing a ridiculous role. I will not do that for whatever reason, for whatever amount. I am not going to do that.
What I desire!
I desire a man who is God fearing, open-minded and one who can hear me out, love and cherish me and my children. Whenever I am playing a romantic role, I always separate my emotions from the role I am playing at that point in time .I don't have feelings for the person in question, it's just a role I have to play at that moment. I do it according to what is in the script, no emotional feeling whatsoever.
Stardom has cost me my privacy. I can no longer do those things I usually do in the past, like buying roasted plantain .If I do that now, it will become news.
If I am not in the public eye, I won't even be noticed.
Being heartbroken!
Yes, I have been heartbroken and It's not something I like to remember. But I have a cute son from the shattered relationship which consoled me from all the pain I went through. My greatest fear? that would be losing someone very dear to me.I don't have a celebrity crush here in Nigeria, but there is an Indian actor I have a huge crush on. He is Shahrukh Khan. He is really cute and good at what he does. The only person I am still looking forward to being paired with in a movie is Odunlade Adekola. What I love about him is his line delivery and the way he interprets roles.
The last time I cried!
The last time I cried was when my son was being circumicised. I think that was the last time I cried because I felt the pain. I felt like bearing the pain on his behalf. Though he was a baby then, I was really moved by his tears. Getting married is not a function of doing it early or late, it's about doing it right. It's about doing it at the time you and your partner will be happy with each other.
Sexiest part of my body
My sexiest asset is my lips .A lot of people compliement my lips, saying I have sexy lips. I have heard about the demand for sex before one gets a role, but I have not experienced it. Having sex with someone is a thing of choice. So, if a producer wants to sleep with you in order to give you a movie role, it's up to you. At the end of the day, you might not even star in the movie. I have not been a victim of that.
Sexy woman
My definition of a sexy woman is how a woman carries herself in the public eye. Sexiness is not about showing off your laps or boobs, It's more about showing off your brilliance and your inner beauty. Marriage is still in my plans, I haven't ruled it out. For me, it's about looking out for the right qualities.
