Award-winning Ghanaian actress Pascaline Edwards claims that her colleagues who assert that they have made a significant amount of money through acting alone are lying.<\/p>\n
The 53-year-old actress-turned-fashion designer stated the movie industry alone as a source of income would not be able to offer anyone with the necessary means to build a house or establish a business while appearing on Onua FM\u2019s \u201cAdwuma Adwuma\u201d with Felicia Osei.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhoever in the industry says they\u2019ve made a fortune from making movies is a liar,\u201d\u00a0she said.<\/p>\n
Pascaline Edwards also remarked that acting is a career that was motivated by passion and could make you famous.
\u201cThe movie industry propels you to a certain level. It gives you a brand. You may get Brand Ambassadorial deals and endorsement which can be lucrative but the income from the movies and set is inadequate,\u201d\u00a0she pointed out.<\/p>\n
She also cautioned young people and aspiring actors to diversify their income streams and avoid depending just on movie profits.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you have to sell groundnut and maize as your regular day job do that and add the acting as your side hustle because it\u2019s really a hand-to-mouth industry,\u201d she said<\/p>\n
\u201cGBC still owes me 5000 cedis old currency, which is now about 50 pesewas in the new Ghana currency,\u201d Edwards who has had a career spanning over 30 years said, also citing the failure of production houses and filmmakers to pay them their wages.<\/p>\n
