In a recent interview, Cross River - born actress, Shan George opened up about making movies and her life in general;
On how the scandals and controversies affect her:
As
a human being, such things affect me. How we cope with it is what makes
us different. For me, I see it as the hazard of the profession.
Fortunately, my children are adults and can decipher truth from
falsehood. Truth is, when people write false comments about you, those
who are very close to you (your family) always know the truth. They are
those who matter to me.
Once you have a clear conscience, then there is no fear.
On rumors of her third marriage:
There
was no third marriage. Actually, it was a role I played in a movie.
Entitled ‘Heartbreak’, it was shot late last year in Abuja. In the
movie, I got married and the production pictures circulated in the media
as part of publicity stunt for the movie. Then, some bloggers, who
claim to be journalists, got hold of it and said I got married! It was
just a movie wedding not a real one.
On if she regrets being an actress:
Yes.
I do nurse regrets when people assume you are the roles you interpret
in films. It is make-believe and if you don’t do it well, no producer
comes for you again. The number two challenge of acting is the fact that
people think you are what they see in movies. If you were living in a
big house or you are a big Abuja babe and then when they see you in real
life they want to see you in that wealthy appearance and opulence which
is not in existence and then it has a psychological effect on those
acting.
There
was a time I was pelted with tomatoes at Alade market because some of
those people believed I snatched my friend’s husband in a movie! That
aside, some actors act as rich men/women in films and cannot extricate
themselves from such roles in reality. They now live beyond their means
and get involved in scandals because they are so desperate to meet with
the standard. I am not a victim of that anyway.
On exposing skin for movie roles:
Yes,
that was then. Now, I reject some scripts not because they would not
pay me, (in fact, they are willing to pay double) but because of
obscenity. Recently, I was invited to shoot a film in Ghana and I
rejected the script because it exposes a lot of my body as a character
in the movie. The producer was willing to pay me in millions but I
refused.
