Who doesn’t love Patience Ozokwor?
Personally, I rate her as my favorite Nollywood actress. Movie lovers call her Margaret Thatcher
of Nollywood, but she is so tender and kind-hearted when she is not on set.
Patience Ozokwor, aka Mama G, in a new interview with Yes magazine, explained
why she usually plays wicked, evil woman roles.
- Why do you always take up the role of a bad woman in movies?
People should admit that I have
something to play! People are known for stunts, romance, bad boys and girls, gigolo
and so on, but I have that as my strong point. It was when I was coming up that
I thought I might get hurt or be hated for playing those roles but I never knew
it was going to even make me popular and loved.
The roles I play most times are very
vibrant and make people want to watch all my movies; even if I play the role of
a good woman now my fans will start complaining, you understand? And if your
fans start complaining that they don’t want you in a particular role, it makes
the producers want to give me those bad woman roles the more.
I don’t ask for it, they just give
it to me and if the script I get has something new and my fans are anxious of
what the role is going to be like, I can make it different from what I used to
do.
It is not easy to play bad roles at
all times. Ask any artiste around
you and they will tell you it’s not easy to cry and shout on set at the same
time when it isn’t your normal self. It is not an easy task at all.
