Uche Jombo reveals dream movie role

Uche Jombo, a popular Nollywood actress, has revealed that her dream film role would be to play Joke Silva’s daughter.

In an Instagram video posted on Friday, the 43-year-old revealed this to fellow actor Daniel Etim-Effion.

Daniel had pointed out that Uche shares a striking resemblance with the veteran actress and Uche concorded, saying that she has played a younger version of Joke in a movie but she wants to play her daughter too.

Uche also said that when she first started acting, people would ask if she was related to Joke Silva whom she did not know at the time.

“Omo you look like Aunty J,” Daniel said.

“Yes, I do, even without make-up. I’ve played like a younger her in a film. My dream role is actually a mother-daughter with her, I’ve never had that role. When I first started acting they used to ask me if I was related to her before I didn’t know her, I now had to start looking for who she was,” Uche said.

Captioning the video, Uche wrote: “It’s @etimeffiong just realizing l kind of look like @ajokesilva in between rehearsal to film a scene #ABetterMan.”

Uche started her acting career in 1999 with the film Visa to Hell.

She has since then featured in several movies like A Cry For Help, Girls Cot, Caught in the Act, Games Men Play, Lies Men Tell, Holding Hope, A Mother’s Fight, Unconditional, A Time to Love, Be My Wife and Heaven on My Mind.
