MAMA G FIRES BACK: MY MOVIE ROLES EXPOSE SOCIETY’S HIDDEN EVILS
Veteran Nollywood actress Patience Ozokwor, popularly known as Mama G, has defended her famous villainous movie roles, insisting that they are designed to expose societal ills rather than reflect her real-life personality.
The award-winning actress said her characters often portray behaviours and attitudes that exist in society but are rarely discussed openly.
According to Ozokwor, her performances help draw attention to issues such as greed, manipulation, jealousy, wickedness, and abuse, allowing audiences to learn valuable lessons from the stories.
She stressed that acting is a profession and that the characters she portrays on screen are entirely different from who she is in real life.
The actress noted that many people wrongly associate actors with the roles they play, despite the fact that movies are meant to educate, entertain, and provoke reflection.
Popularly regarded as one of Nollywood’s most iconic stars, Mama G has built a reputation for playing strict, controversial, and unforgettable characters that have left a lasting impact on the Nigerian film industry.
