Veteran Nollywood actor, Charles Awurum has given reasons why many ladies join Nollywood.
In an interview with Punch, the actor listed many reasons women are attracted to acting, one of which is prostitution and quite a few are will to compromise their bodies for roles.
He stated that many do it for fame, and some are in the industry for the money.
Charles Awurum added that some people are in the industry without talents, but they are unwilling to learn the rudiments of the profession.
In his words, “While some get in because of fame, such people feel that once get in, everything will fall in place. They don’t take time to learn the technical aspects of the job, especially production and become experts at what they do. “Some are there for women. And some women are there to make a name in order to go into other things and have their way in the world.”
He revealed that some women are in Nollywood because of prostitution. And others are there for the reason best known to them.
“Some practitioners buy roles and they go on set to display their big cars, buy gifts for producers in order to have an edge.
“Such would be given lead roles but they make things difficult for everyone in that production. Shooting a scene usually takes days and the producer wouldn’t want to drop such an actor because of the benevolence he or she enjoys from such a person.”
