[VIDEOS] Joke Silva Speaks On Social Media Lifestyle Of Nollywood Actors

Veteran Nollywood star, Joke Silva, who is the cover star for the latest issue of Genevieve Magazine, has discussed a number of issues surrounding the industry ranging from casting to the industry’s development and most interesting the glamour and reality of actors in the industry.

 


The respected actress took to Instagram to share an excerpt of her interview where she revealed that the industry cannot support the glamorous lifestyle displayed by some Nollywood stars.

“Don’t be deceived by what goes on on social media. Obviously there is something else such actors are doing, perhaps other businesses to shore up their income. The reality is that on the earning capacity of an actor in Nigeria, you cannot have that sort of lifestyle in this economy. Yes part of our industry is to have glamour but also the other part is to have reality”. ~ Part interview from the latest issue of @genevievemagazine|

In our interview, and amid her signature guttural laughter and deep reflections, @ajokesilva speaks very candidly about her almost four-decades-long acting career. In this interview, Joke opens up on rejection, body shaming, ageing and what she wished she knew as young actor. When asked about body shaming on the grounds of size, colour or height, she said : Of course I have lost a lot of roles, not because of my colour or body but because of my face. People find it a strange face to work with. It is not your conventional fine face and in the early years I didn’t know how to handle the face and as a result of that people found it easier to use me as a character actor. I was bothered because I was being cast for “Mama” roles. At that age I was meant to be diverse in my role but I was already boxed in.
