adminMost people love Nollywood actress Patience Ozokwor because she is kind-hearted off the big screen. However that isn’t the case whenever she picks up a movie script.
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 or Mama Azuka to Zimbabwean fans, in an interview with Yes magazine, explained why she usually plays wicked, evil woman roles.
“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 only during my formative years that I thought I might get hurt or be hated for playing such roles but I never knew it was going to even make me popular and loved.
“The roles I play 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, the producers would always cast me as a villain.
“I don’t ask for it, they just give it to me and if the script I get has something new and 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” she said. — Nigeriafilms.
