The fast rising act , in a new interview with Sunnewsonline , talked about her career , Nollywood and more
Read below:
How did your acting career start ?
I have always had passion for acting ever since I was very small . I remember vividly when I was like five years old , I would stay in front of the television in the house to watch movies, then later I will start acting the same way I watched it for my mummy . Then I used to admire Regina Askia, Liz Benzon and all. I started acting from secondary school but my father said it ’ s over his dead body that I will act . I would go for auditioning and he will flog me . After secondary school, I stopped attending auditioning and concentrated on my education. When I got admitted to Ambrose Ali University, Ekpoma , Edo State, in year two, my immediate elder sister bought me a form to attend a movie audition . I told her ‘I ’ m scared, will you go with me ?’ And she agreed to go with me . That sameday , I was auditioned and chosen. That was how I started acting in Edo State.
But my journey into the movie industry will not be complete if refuse to mention how I came across Chico Ejiro, Zeb Ejiro, Emmanuel Okukuwa and some other directors and artists. They saw me acting and were like , ‘ wow , so you know how to act . You are also a good girl , the next time I have a movie to shoot , I will call you’ That was how I came down to Lagos to act with Uche Jombo on Chico Ejiro’ s production .
What ’s the title of the movie ?
It ’ s a movie titled When Dreams Fall Apart .
Who do you look up to in the movie industry ?
I want to be like Omotola Jalade.
Why her ?
I love her simplicity , and her real nature of interpreting roles . She’ s very natural , she’ s herself. When you watch her movies, you will notice that she doesn ’ t over act . Movie is actually make believe and she always gives her acting that make believe touch .
Do you look forward to working with her?
Definitely! I can ’ t wait to work with her . Although, we have both featured in the same movie , the day she came on set was the day I was leaving. But I was with her in the car for a while.
Like how many movies have featured in?
I don ’ t have the number off hand but I could remember some titles like When Dreams Fall Apart , Made on Mission , Desperate Bankers , Shattered Dream , Evil in Me , Triggered, which was produced by me and lots more.
Considering the nature of your job , do you? think you would be able to stay long in the industry ?
Sure, I will stay long in the movie industry . I ’ m not in it because everybody is there , I ’ m here because of my passion for acting , this is me and all I love to do. As the saying goes , ‘nothing good comes easy ’ . If I am not on set for two weeks , I ’ ll feel I ’ m not where I ’ m supposed to be . I love it when I am on set .
Has any producer told you that if I don’ t have sex with you , I won ’t give you role ? [ / b]
Yes, several times and I don ’t see it as a big deal. It happens in other industries too . There ’ s always sexual harassment in other sectors; you see lecturers asking their students for sex before they can pass them . Even some bosses in corporate organisations ask their subordinates for sex before they can be promoted. But the ability to make you stand out , makes you who you are. I can ’t say because I ’ m not picked for a role , I will now go and sleep with the producer or director. Never! That ’s not me .
You are a beautiful lady , what is your beauty routine?
Thank you . To maintain a fair skin is a whole lot of work, and my skin is very delicate, I react to any irritation . So , I try as much as I can not to share towel, bathing soap or cream with anybody . I take two glasses of warm water every morning and night. And I eat more of vegetables and fruits.
[ b] You once said that your boobs are your selling points, how do you maintain them to remain your selling points?
I used to think that my boobs are my selling points , but now my brain is my selling point because I have a lot in there that is very profitable for the movie industry . As for my boobs , I don’ t tie wrapper on my chest for any reason, because it sags the boobs . I don’ t wear bras with iron underneath and I don ’ t sleep with my bra on.
Is Success Asibor in a relationship ?
I am in a relationship , but I ’ m single and not married. I am always ready to mingle.
Is your man comfortable with the nature of your career ?
Yes , he ’ s very comfortable with my job ; he loves it so much. Anything I do , he ’ s always supporting me and he ’ s very , very understanding.
What kind of guy would you like to settle down with ?
First of all, he must be God fearing , understanding and very romantic.
What inspired your movie , Triggered?
People ’ s perception about men . A lot of people believe men are the ones that cheat and not women , but the both of them are guilty. Triggered centers on an ingrate girl friend , but then the rest will be unveiled when the movie is out as home video .
Aside acting , what else do you do ?
Aside acting , I sell hair extensions and female wears.
Between movie making and trading , which is more profitable?
Like I said earlier, acting is my passion; it gives me joy and satisfaction , but my business pays me more.
Are you ready for marriage ?
I will wait for God ’ s own time.
What is that special thing that acting has done for you ?
It ’ s really opening doors for me these days I must confess , I have been getting different adverts of recent .
