Crystal Okoye has categorically updated us on the level at which she
operates now inasmuch as beauty is concerned. In an exclusive
interview recently with ultimate Groove, The young nollywood star who
has featured in many movies irrespective of her newness to nollywood
has exposed the level of pride in her by the amount of praises she
acclaimed to herself. Hear her:
What has worked for you in the industry; your talent orbeauty?
I will say both. Before then I used to look at myself in the mirror
and tell myself "Crystal, you are beautiful". I am beautiful. I am
well-shaped. I have straight legs. Idecided to come into the industry,
not just with my physical attributes but also because of my talents.
In Nollywood, you may be beautiful but if you are not talented you
can't get any wherebut I thank God I have everything. The talent, the
beauty, the figure and everything. In Nollywood, beauty and talent
goes hand in hand.
What about your embarrassing moments?
The one I can remember happened when I was still looking to have a
shot at acting. Then, I reported at a location and the producer gave
me a note where he instructed me to meet him at a hotel room. I felt
so embarrassed. He told me the role would not be available for me if I
didn't report at the hotel. I left the set and never showed up forthe
job. If you want me I want you to come up to me and tell meyou want me
but tying it to anything else puts me off.
What do you think are your selling points?
My selling point are my hips. I think Mercy Johnson's hips are just
learning where mine are. I know that I am well-shaped. If you ask me,
I have got the best shape in Nollywood. And it is just not my hips
alone, my eyes, my legs and my height as a woman allcompliment my nice
figure.
You may say I don't have the front but I have the back. The back speaks for me.
Is it true that upcoming actors and actresses now pay producers to be
featured in films?
They do that. Some pay their way to be featured. Yes, it is happening alright.
Have you ever had to do that?
God forbid. I would rather give upthe job than succumb to that. I am
an actress, the producer is supposed to pay me not the other way
round.
What's your idea about s^x. Should it be done only aftermarriage?
S..x is a free gift from God, meant for us, man and woman to enjoy
ourselves. I don't believe in that 'after marriage' crap. I believe in
s..x before marriage because it is very important you know partner
very well, sexually and otherwise, before you two are sworn together
for life.
If you don't know the person very well (s^xually) before marriage,
what happens if the person doesn't live up to your expectations? What
if the personcannot perform? I don't think there's a woman who wants
to end up with a man who cannot perform.
So, a man must be able to perform before you can consider marrying him?
Yes o. If a man cannot perform I have no business with him. You have
to be a complete man to bewith me.
So you prefer s^x to money in marriage?
My dear, money comes first o. Money rules the world. But s..x too is
very important because without s^x the marriage cannot be sweet. God
has given s^x as a gift to enjoy.
Who are your role models inthe industry?
My first person is Pete Edochie. I see in him a father figure, a
father I have lost. Then there is Bukky Ajayi, Onyeka Onwenu,
Stephanie Okereke and some others.
