Nollywood veteran, Eucharia Anunobi, has claimed that she was perceived as a seductress following her appearance in the 1994 blockbuster film Glamour Girls Part Two.
This was revealed by the actress in an interview posted on Instagram on Thursday.
There have been misconceptions about performers and the roles they portray, according to her. Using the popular film Glamour Girls as an example, the actress stated that following the film’s release, she was constantly looked at in a’seductive way.’
“A lot of people they see you in public and they look at you funny like ‘oh my God’ he acted that role or she acted that role they begin to make you feel like the character you played, the role doesn’t define you and it’s very challenging.
“I remember when I did the movie Glamour Girls part two and you know in that movie I played the role of a student and not just a student, I played the role of a seductress, a husband snatcher, a man who came after me, he fell in love with me and I got married to him and then when the movie came out everybody was looking at me like ‘oh my God she is so sexy’. She is going to take my husband from me. Sometimes when couples are walking by, I will see the woman subconsciously hold the husband very well, it was very funny but it was challenging,” she said in parts.
The film which centers on single women embarking on their own path in a traditional patriarchal society gained widespread popularity in Nigeria.
Written and produced by Kenneth Nnebue, the movie also features veterans such as Liz Benson, Ngozi Ezeonu, Zack Orji, Ernest Obi and Pat Attah.
