In a recent interview on Cool FM, the multifaceted entertainer, Uriel Oputa, confidently asserted her proficiency in acting, boldly claiming to surpass certain current actresses within the Nollywood industry.
During the discussion, Uriel emphasized her capabilities and expressed her conviction that her acting abilities outshine those of some of her counterparts in the Nigerian film industry.
The BBNaija reality star confidently highlighted her aptitude for the craft, suggesting that her skills are superior to those of certain contemporary actresses in Nollywood.
She said, “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.
This assertion by Uriel adds to the ongoing discourse regarding talent and expertise within the entertainment sector, sparking conversations about the subjective nature of acting prowess and the diversity of skills within the industry.
She added, “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.”
