Reality TV star and chef, Uriel Oputa, recently shared her thoughts on her acting abilities during an interview on Cool FM. The bold celebrity claimed that she possesses acting talent that surpasses that of some contemporary Nollywood stars.
Uriel, who studied drama in the United Kingdom, disclosed that she consistently receives offers from movie producers to appear in films. Despite acknowledging her natural artistic instinct and solid background in drama, she admitted to declining numerous movie roles.
In her own words,
“I’ve been approached by a lot of people to get into acting, but I’ve always turned them down. The reason I turned down gigs for acting in Nigeria is because, one, you’re always going to be stereotyped into a role; two, some of the scripts are a bit too predictable; and three, they [filmmakers]don’t pay well.”
Uriel’s candid reflections shed light on her perspective on the Nigerian film industry and the factors influencing her decisions in the entertainment realm.
