‘I haven’t seen any movie worth doing in years’ – Genevieve Nnaji


Nollywood actress, Genevieve Nnaji has ascribed her infrequent acting to a lack of quality movie scripts in circulation. Genevieve says she needs to be drawn to a story before she can be able to bring the character to life. In a recent interview with Encomium magazine, the superstar actress said she hasn’t found any movie worth doing in the past few years

“I didn’t take a break. Yes you haven’t seen me in any film but it is not my doing. I read at least three or four scripts a week for the past five years. That is to show you how bad it is. I am very careful when it comes to what I take part in.”

“There is so much or nothing you can do to convince me. I have to love a story so that I can bring it to life. It is not a one man band. The story needs to entice. The character needs to be appealing and then, you are one with it. With that, it becomes easy to be a good actor.”

Genevieve added that she wouldn’t embark on any project that’s not better than her last job.

“If I don’t get a good script, I am not going on set. I haven’t seen anything worth my while in years, that is the truth. I don’t know who did what we did in the 90s. If you can’t beat your last job, what is the point? You might as well take a bow but I am not bowing out yet.”
