Nollywood actress , Success Asibor , is of the notion that sex exchange for
movie roles is just as normal as every other thing. The fast rising act, in a
new interview with Sunnewsonline, talked about her career , Nollywood and
more .
Read interview 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.
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 .
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.
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 ?
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.
You once said that your booobs are your selling points, how do you
maintain them to remain your selling points?
I used to think that my booobs 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 booobs , I don’ t tie wrapper on my chest for any
reason, because it sags the booobs. 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 .
