One of Nollywood’s most controversial
actresses, Anita Joseph in a recent interview with The Punch, talks about her
life as an actress, her fashion choices, her kind of man and most embarrassing
moments. Read below:
On her life as an actress:
It is a queer life because there is no
privacy. Everything you do and say is made public. Any man you date is
published on the pages of magazines/newspapers. It is a life that lacks
privacy. Though interesting, there are times you don’t want to have your pictures
splashed everywhere. I sing, I am a model and I’m sexy. So many people say lots
of negative things about me. I am not bothered. I have grown a thick skin. It
only makes me stronger because I didn’t do those things.
On her most embarrassing
moment:
I treat my fans like friends. Fans are
important in this profession because they make or mar you. You have to be
careful with your fans. Embarrassed by fans? Yes, I remember when a man slapped
my buttocks! I acted in a film and the role was that of a lady sleeping with
many men. After the film, a man walked up to me and said he liked the way I
shook my buttocks in the movie. He wondered if that was how I shake it in real
life. I was embarrassed.
On dating her fans:
There is nothing wrong dating someone who
loves and adores you. I have dated some of my fans. The best person to date,
sometimes, is your fan. He loves what you are doing and you can act for him at
home.
On her Fashion preferences:
I wear whatever suits me or fits into any
occasion I am attending. Also, my mood and the occasion determine what I wear.
I love short gowns and bum shorts. I like it when people look at me; it makes
me feel good. If you are a lady and nobody looks at you, then you should go
back and look at your mirror.
Her ideal man:
I like men who are calm, calculated and
someone I can learn from. I like a responsible man who talks well. I cannot
stick loud-mouthed men.
