Omo who has featured in a number of blockbusters like ‘Damage’ by Uche Jombo, ‘Secret Weapon’ alongside Eucharia Anunobi, Emeka Ike and Chika Ike among many others said she can act nude in a movie as far as the pay is worth it.
Excerpts:
On pornography creeping into Nollywood and if its true pornography makes the movies more real
I don’t think pornography makes a movie real, the way the world is now, sex sells, so pornography is just a decoy to attract people to movies. But it doesn’t work for me because it’s not in our tradition and culture
On acting nude if the money is right
Yes, I may consider going nude to interpret a role but definitely not to the extent of going fully nude. Besides, that is why we have body doubles.
On her selling points and how it has helped her
I will say my selling point is my jovial attitude, and my eyes. Yes, I will say they have helped in a lot of ways and will still help in the future. My jovial nature has opened doors for me in ways I can’t explain; be it in people recommending me or just wanting to help me, because they just want to see me grow.
On her kind of man
A good conversationalist with a good sense of humour is my kind of man, any day. If a man makes me laugh a lot, he has a chance to my heart. Then his manners and how he treats other people count. Though looks are not very important, it is an added advantage.
Omo is a graduate of Mass Communication from the Imo State University. In 2011 she enrolled in the prestigious Royal Arts Academy owned by Emem Isong where she excelled as one of the favourite students in her time, with a certificate of excellence.
