I Cry After Watching My Wicked Movie Roles – Ozokwor
Nollywood veteran actress, Patience Ozokwor popularly known as ‘Mama Gee’ has recently opened up on her feelings after watching her wicked roles in the movies.
In an interview with the media, the popular celebrity actress said: “sometimes I cry when I watch some of the characters in movies at home, I just thank God it isn’t the real me that was involved, but a character”.
“Nearly all the movies where I played wicked roles made me cry because I remember what that character had done to somebody, I do these jobs to the best of my ability because I want to sit down at home, watch and cry over what I am doing to people. Two of the roles that caused me the most tears where one role where I seized the feeding bottle of a month-old-baby and threw it away. After watching my wicked role in the movie, I wept profusely. After that scene the director had to stop shooting until I was able to control myself. If someone had done it in real life, I would have exposed the fellow to the world to see”, she declared.
“There was another one where I went to take my sister’s daughter from the village. If any human being can do what I did to the girl, I don’t know what God will do to that person in return I met her in the kitchen, beat her so much that she fell down the stairs, rolled down and died from broken head and pains all over. I’ve been playing wicked roles, but those two movies are exceptionally horrible, I doubt that any human being would do that to anyone”.
