The case of Nollywood Actress, Patience Ozokwor is an ironic way of life, Most people love Patience Ozokwor, because according to them, she is kind-hearted on the inside and in the real world. But the reverse is the case whenever she picks up a movie script.
Movie lovers call her Margaret Thatcher of Nollywood, but in real life, she is so tender and kind-hearted when she is not on set.
Patience Ozokwor, aka Mama G, in a new interview with Yes magazine, explained why she usually plays wicked, evil woman roles.
�People should admit that I have something to play!�, she said. People are known for stunts, romance, bad boys and girls, gigolo and so on, and I play that role as my strong point. It was when I was coming up that I sometimes got worried that I will be hated for playing those roles but I never knew it was going to even make me popular and loved.
�The roles I play most times are very vibrant and make people want to watch all my movies; even if I play the role of a good woman now my fans will start complaining, you understand? And if your fans start complaining that they don�t want you in a particular role, it makes the producers want to give me those bad woman roles the more.
�I don�t ask for it, they just give it to me and if the script I get has something new and my fans are anxious of what the role is going to be like, I can make it different from what I used to do.
�It is not easy to play bad roles at all times. Ask any artiste around you and they will tell you it�s not easy to cry and shout on set at the same time when it isn�t your normal self. It is not an easy task at all�.
