Nollywood actress, Uche Jombo is a darling of the big screen and has been so for over a decade now. Ever since she cut her teeth into acting in 1999 with her first movie �Visa To Hell�, she has improved her craft with every production and has had a steady climb up her professional ladder. Now, aside from acting, she owns movie production outfit called Uche Jombo Studios which has been responsible for churning out great movies in recent times. On May 16, 2012 Uche got married to her beau Kenney Rodriguez at a private beach wedding on the Island of Puerto Rico. Her wedding which took many by surprise has been the talk of the town for several weeks. In this exclusive interview with Adeola Adeyemo, Uche speaks about having the wedding of her dreams, her husband, her career and more. Uche is still basking in the euphoria of her wedding. She is happy as she speaks about it, laughs at the pictures, and has a special glow when speaking about her husband. But aside from the excitement of her wedding, chatting with her reveals a bubbly and intelligent personality; someone that has had an interesting career climb and has a lot to share with the world. Just for fun On a lighter note now, if you were stuck on a lonely island, what three things would you love to have with you? My Bible, my water and my husband. What is your favourite colour? It used to be black and then I didn�t know when it came to blue. I just go with the flow, I don�t really have a favourite colour now. Do you cook often? Yes but not as often as I want to. What meal do you have the biggest challenge with when cooking? If I have challenge about cooking a particular meal, I just won�t cook it. Cooking has to be fun for me. It has to be something I know I can make. Tell me something most people don�t know about you? I have Insomnia. I called my producer up one time and she was sounding very sleepy and then I checked the time and it was past two am. I had no idea. When people say they have time changes affecting them, not me. I just write or I am in the studio. The news has been buzzing for a while that you got married in Puerto Rico last month, but you�ve been quiet about it. Why? Because I have an exclusive publication already on that and eventually, BN would also have it. I also don�t want it to just be all over the place. The whole point was doing something that is totally unexpected. People were busy writing what they didn�t know. I have a right to say this is the information I want out and this is the information I don�t want out. Also because it has stopped being me and now us, we have to continuously agree to how we want stuff done. I am from a different background and my partner is from a different background. We just wanted to savour the moment. I�m itching to hear more about your wedding. Was it a fairy tale kind of wedding? It was exactly the kind of wedding I wanted. Every bride has a dream wedding. I had always wanted that kind of simple beach wedding. I went on vacation last year in Puerto Rico Island and I loved it and I said I would like to come back there for my wedding.
