I’m Better Than Some Nollywood Actresses – Uriel Oputa

Big Brother Naija star and actress, Uriel Oputa, has bragged about her acting prowess, saying that she is better at acting than some contemporary Nollywood actresses.

Uriel made the disclosure during an interview with Cool FM radio Lagos.

In her words:

“A lot of people [filmmakers] have approached me to be in movies. I get asked to be in movies all the time; in my DM, email, I get approached to be an actress.

“And I know that I’m a very good actress. I am probably better than some of the actresses in Nollywood right now. And that’s me being real. Apart from having a natural artiste instinct, I studied drama in the UK. So, I know that I’m quite a good actor.

“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.”
