Why I always play bad roles – Patience Ozorkwor

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”.
