A few weeks ago, stunning Nigerian actress Biola Ige was embroiled in an embarrassing leaked imaged from a movie, showing actor Muna Obiekwe fondling with her boobs. The viral image got the public hurling all types of “death be you” stones, at the actress.
I am tired of these two grown babies ... beginning to say different stories
In an interview with Encomium magazine, Biola Ige answered several questions surrounding the now infamous controversial, nude picture.
Read Interview Below
Are you not disturbed by the criticisms and negative publicity arising from your role in the movie, especially where Muna was sucking your boobs?
No, I am not! My dad is alive. Thank goodness he does not have access to internet. But my brother saw the picture and he was so disturbed. He asked me what really happened and I told him that was not me. He was not sucking my boobs. What I remember was the director said action and Muna pecked me on top of my breast and he said baby go inside I am coming. That was the scene. Two years later, I saw a picture of him sucking my boobs. My brother said I am an actress and I am getting my money from there, don’t be disturbed about it and he will make sure nobody in the family gets bothered about it. After all, it is called acting.
Are you saying you can act nude?
I can act nude in Hollywood not in Nollywood. Look at this picture that went viral, if I now act nude that means they will stone me to death. If it is Hollywood they will hail me to high heavens. Here in Nigeria, people are bound to say anything. Look at Lupita Nyong’o in 12 Years A Slave, was she not naked when they were beating her? Does she not have parents? Did she not win Oscars?
Was it because you were off movies for three years, that’s why you decided to take a porn movie role?
No! I did that movie two years ago. I was still ill and I did it. This is what I love to do best, I am an artist and this movie was shot two years ago. I can’t even remember the scene Muna sucked my breast.
For you to be comfortable in such role with Muna Obiekwe, what is your relationship with him?
We all love different sides of acting. Angelina Jolie cannot act a weeping or gentle role. Muna is an extraordinary actor for him to take such role. For me, as Biola Ige, I can do any character with the help of my director. It is called acting. If you don’t have the big heart for it, don’t come. If you don’t have the capacity and passion for it, don’t do it. I can take up any role. Before that episode, I never met Muna, I don’t need to be in a relationship to act with anybody. I am an actor. Muna is a married man. I saw him just once and the next time I saw him was on that movie set.
Did he actually suck your boobs?
Not at all, I am using this medium to ask people go back and watch Desperate Hawkers.
