‘I’m better than some Nollywood actresses’ – Uriel Oputa

Published on November 23, 2023 at 07:13 AM

Big Brother Naija reality show star and singer, Uriel Oputa, has bragged that she is better at acting than some contemporary Nollywood actresses.

Speaking in a recent interview on Cool FM, Uriel 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.

“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.”;
