Veteran actress, Patience Ozokwor aka Mama G is popularly
known for her ‘no-nonsense, strict ‘roles in movies in a recent
interview with Yes magazine, explained why she usually plays
those wicked, evil woman roles.
The actress who is loved by many in the real world is quite the
opposite of what she plays in movies.
When asked why she always take up the role of a bad woman in
movies. She said:
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 .
