‘I’m better than some Nollywood actresses’ – Uriel Oputa
Uriel Oputa, a former Big Brother Naija reality show star and singer, confidently stated in a recent interview on Cool FM that she believes she is a better actress than some contemporary Nollywood actresses.
Speaking in a recent interview on Cool FM, Uriel said: “A lot of people [filmmakers] have approached me to be in movies. I get asked to be in movies all the time; in my DM, email, I get approached to be an actress.
“And I know that I’m a very good actress. I am probably better than some of the actresses in Nollywood right now. And that’s me being real. Apart from having a natural artiste instinct, I studied drama in the UK. So, I know that I’m quite a good actor.
“I’ve been approached by a lot of people to get into acting but I’ve always turned them down. The reason I turned down gigs for acting in Nigeria is because, one, you’re always going to be stereotyped into a role; two, some of the scripts are a bit too predictable; and three, they [filmmakers] don’t pay well.”
