Nollywood
actress, Queen Nwokoye, celebrated her birthday last week and many fans and
followers on social media were out to congratulate her. Indeed Queen is one of
Nollywood stars and enjoys a large following on social media.
But
many believe these stars sleep with movie producers and some actress had
attested to this.
A
mother of a set of twin boys, who is also married to Uzoma, Queen spoke on her
road to stardom to SUNDAY PUNCH.
A
graduate of Sociology and Anthropology from the Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka,
Queen painted the ‘good girl’ picture when she said she became a star by not
relocating to Lagos or sleeping with any film producer.
She
said, “Lagos is too rowdy. It’s too busy for me. In Lagos, everybody is
hustling. I am not a hustler. All my life, I have never had to hustle for
anything, anything I have, came to me, including stardom.”
Does
that mean she is one of the said few that didn’t have to sleep with a producer
to get movie roles? ‘‘If it is true that actresses have to
sleep with producers to get roles, I’m happy I didn’t have to do so. Sometimes,
it is people’s way of trying to explain away their failure. I didn’t pass
through it. From my experience, nobody ever asked to sleep with me. If you
present yourself as someone that can sleep around to get roles, people will
treat you that way. But the truth is how many people do you want to sleep with
before you become famous?”
She
had quite a number of failed relationships with actors before she got married.
