Genevieve Nnaji<\/p>\n
\nWith the release of her new movie, The Mirror Boy still grabbing headlines and the world media clamouring for her story, Africa\u2019s answer to royalty, Genevieve Nnaji bares all in this interview. Excerpts:<\/p>\n
Do you see yourself as sexy and what\u2019s the favourite part of your body?<\/p>\n
I like to think that I\u2019m sexy although I don\u2019t always feel sexy. I think my waist is my best body part\u2026I like my waist because it\u2019s small and neat and gives me my hourglass figure (laughs).<\/p>\n
What has been your favourite role to date?<\/p>\n
Wow! I have enjoyed playing all the characters in the movies I have done. The Mirror Boy was fun. Ije was another movie which was great and challenging because it was shot in Hollywood among other Hollywood stars, but I would say my favourite to date is the Window of Glory where I played the role of a blind girl. I really got into my character and learnt a lot about myself at the same time.<\/p>\n
You have starred in more than 100 movies, are there any roles you have not played?<\/p>\n
There are still many roles left in me. I\u2019m prepared to try any new thing and challenging. I would do any role except porn \u2013 no amount of money can get my clothes off.<\/p>\n
The world is your oyster, who would you most like to star with?<\/p>\n
Johnny Depp. I find him a very deep actor mostly because he represents what I represent, he acts for himself and he picks out roles that he enjoys; it\u2019s not about the movie being commercial. He is acting for himself and picks out challenging characters to play. Acting should not be taken too seriously, it should be fun and he doesn\u2019t take himself too seriously.<\/p>\n
What gets you out of bed in the morning?<\/p>\n
The gym \u2013 a great work out! I am very hyper in the morning so the gym is somewhere I can get rid of tension and gets me prepared both mentally and physically for the rest of the day which is usually long and tiring. I am not a screamer in the gym (laughs) but I like to zone out and plan my daily goals. I don\u2019t see anybody at that point in time. I go into my inner self and put on my earphone listening to music and meditate about my future. I\u2019m what you call a deep thinker. I love to run the most and use the treadmill or steppers as I work mostly on my legs and thighs plus my stomach.<\/p>\n
What inspires and motivates you in life?<\/p>\n
Fear of failure. I am driven by fear of not achieving what I set out to achieve and not meeting my standards. I can be pretty hard on myself. I\u2019m very competitive so failure cannot be an option.<\/p>\n
What is your ultimate goal?<\/p>\n
I want to challenge myself as an actor some more. I don\u2019t think I have reached my potential. There is still a hunger in me. I am still not completely satisfied. I won\u2019t stop until I get an Oscar.<\/p>\n
If you could do it all again what would you do?<\/p>\n
Gosh, if I had it my way I would love to be a model, but I don\u2019t have the height. If I could start my career again I would definitely go into the fashion world because I have been designing since primary school. But you can\u2019t go back into time and the best thing about my job is that I get to dress up and pose all the time just like a model!<\/p>\n
You are what is described as a \u2018Yummy Mummy\u2019 \u2013 someone who is career minded, ambitious and beautiful. However, you were also a teen mother \u2013 what advice would you give to other teen mums?<\/p>\n
Thank you. I have never heard of that term, but I like to keep this part of my life private and I don\u2019t like to talk about my daughter. But what I would say is, I completely believe in destiny. I think everybody has a dream and something they want to achieve so you should never give up on yourself. Learn to embrace everything life throws at you and learn to make everything work for you even your mistakes. Do not give up on your dreams as long as there is life, there is hope. When you have life, you should make the best of your time as possible because life is too short.<\/p>\n
You\u2019ve been romantically linked to several people, are there any wedding bells in the future?<\/p>\n
Yes, I am dating, but there won\u2019t be any chiming of any wedding bells although I do want to get married. I am looking for someone who can keep me excited because I get bored easily. I need someone who is there to support me, who is confident. I haven\u2019t got the time to be massaging a man\u2019s ego; he has to be confident in our relationship from the get-go!<\/p>\n
Who is your ideal man?<\/p>\n
We all want a handsome man, but ultimately we want one that is good inside. But I would love to meet someone with a Johnny Depp personality and with Boris Kodjo\u2019s lips (laughs).<\/p>\n
