Fast rising Nollywood actress, Angela Eguavoen has revealed she extent she can go to make any movie she’s featured in look real.
The light skinned script
interpreter is also of the opinion that an actress’ body is one of the tools by
which they portray characters in movies.
“I believe that an actress’
body is a canvas. One should be able to do anything with one’s body, because we
are in Nollywood. In Hollywood, a lot of actors go nude in films.

“That is why I said when it is
necessary, (I can go nude in a movie). It is not just about going naked in any
film, one needs to ask if it will add to the story, or is necessary in
portraying a character, so that the story would be well told and not look fake.
As an actress, one should be flexible, and the whole of one’s body should be
dedicated to the work.”
Asked about the widely held
belief that actresses are more financially buoyant than their male
counterparts, she said, “No, I don’t think so. As a matter of fact, actors get
better pay than actresses. People think actresses are more financially buoyant
because they tend to flaunt their newly acquired cars or houses, which some
actors don’t do.”
On how she handles male fans who
want to get intimate with her, she said, “I will deal with it like a regular
guy asking me out. But, I cannot say ‘yes’ to everybody. If I meet a fan who
loves me, has the qualities I want in a man and is willing to support my craft,
why won’t I give that person a chance?
“But, if that is not the case, and there is no prospect, I will deal with it like a regular guy trying to ‘shoot his shot’.”
