I can’t go nude at any price – Cynthia Okonkwo
Despite the fact that you are still young in the industry, you are already mingling with the big names. Aren’t you lucky?
Yes, I think I am blessed. I don’t really have anything short of being ‘blessed’. I count myself lucky in the industry. God has been on my side because I haven’t put in so much energy into the industry, yet I have recorded a lot of results. I think that’s what favour is all about.
From where do you draw your acting inspiration?
Everything inspires me. But Nigeria is a very dramatic country to draw inspiration from. So far, I have acted well over twenty movies in less than three years.
Were you getting roles easily at the time you started acting?
Well, I haven’t really gone through so much stress in getting roles in movies. But that does not mean I haven’t been attending auditions. I attended auditions after auditions but I never gave up any hope. It wasn’t so stressful for me even though I got my first role, while attending audition. Ever since then, I haven’t looked back.
Have you ever had any nasty experience in the industry?
I never had any nasty experience so far. I think my acting skill paved way for me. It makes things easier for me to scale through in the industry. So, I really don’t have any reason to use the back door to rise to fame. I am not a desperate person.
Are you saying there are ‘desperadoes’ in the industry?
There are desperadoes everywhere, not just in Nollywood. People are desperate to survive, they are desperate for everything, so, it’s not about Nollywood alone.
Where can you be found when you are not filming?
In the comfort of my home of course.
Do you have a relationship with God?
Yes, I do. And as a Christian prayer becomes a way of life for me. It’s not that I have a particular style of praying. I pray fervently.
Can being a good girl take you to the top of your career?
