How I turned down mouth-watering offer to star in adult film – Actress Angela Eguavoen
Angela Eguavoen, a Nigerian actress, revealed how she once declined a role in an x-rated film despite being paid a mind-blowing sum.
The actress described how a foreign producer contacted her and claimed that she has the kind of body that would be ideal for an adult film, but she turned him down because accepting such roles goes against her moral code.
According to Angela Eguavoen, the filmmaker tried to convince her to accept the deal by revealing that it is enticing, but she refused. Her words;
“I have been approached to shoot an X-rated film before. One random producer sent me a message on social media. Funnily enough, he was not even a Nigerian. He said I had a great body, and that I would be good in that aspect. He added that the pay would be mind-blowing. I blocked him immediately after reading the message. I don’t think I will ever do that.”
The delectable actress who made the revelation during an interview also dismissed claims that she is stereotyped in the movie industry. She said;
“I don’t think I am being stereotyped. In the course of my career, I have played diverse roles. Nollywood has opportunities for everybody, women inclusive. With the advent of social media, there are so many opportunities for everybody. I don’t think women are sidelined.
I actually think women have a lot of opportunities, because there is no film that does not feature women. I feel a producer can comfortably make a film with an all-female cast, but they cannot do the same for men. If an entertainer is accepted by a community of women, their job is mostly done.”
