I Can Act Nude For $50m – Nollywood Actress, Amanda Ebeye

Nollywood actress, Amanda Ebeye in an interview tells why she does more of soap operas than Nollywood movies.
You became popular in the television series,
Clinic Matters; is there any difference between you and the character you portrayed in the soap?

Yes, it's a world of difference between the
character, Abigail and I. Abigail is known to be
very nosy, she is two-faced and has issues and
controversy surrounding her. She also gossips a
lot. I talk but not to the detriment of other
people. I was only portraying a character to the
best of my understanding at that time.

But do you gossip, and are you
temperamental in real life as you act in the
soap opera?

Yes. I could be a little bit temperamental but
not a big time gossip like Nurse Abigail. I talk
too but who doesn't? I can never scandalise, lie
or bring people down; never. On several
occasions I've had a lot of people say, maybe
when I get upset, I yell. They assume I am just
as Nurse Abigail in reality. It is very funny
because whatever I portray is what I would have
done if I was truly that character. It is not who I
am. If I was a gossip, a liar, a prostitute, a pilot;
it is all in my head, it is my imagination, my
creation and not who I am in real life. But when
people talk like that, I feel honoured because I
feel I gave the character my best shot.

Why do you do more of soaps than movies?

There was a time I stopped doing movies and
concentrated on soap operas. That was between
2009 and 2011. And since 2011, I have been
doing strictly movies apart from Bella's Place
that is owned by Royal Roots.

Can you act nude?

I cannot act nude but like I have said before, if you pay me about $50m, I will. Please who is the first to pay?
