With well over 40 movies, including Good News, Royal Palace and Unknown Angel, Ebube is climbing the ladder fast! At a recent
event, the
actress opened up on some of the controversies that have trailed her since she became an actress.
Going down the memory lane, the Mass Communication graduate told Spectacles that acting was never really her dream. She said she never envied the glamorous stars that she saw on the television, neither did she imagine that she would one day be like them. She explained that she only got into movies by accident.
I went for an audition one day in 2003 and it was not as if I planned it. I never really set out to become an actress. I just decided to go for the audition.
But that audition would change the focus of her life. She bagged the lead role in the movie and within the twinkling of an eye, she had become a sensation.
That audition was the last. I never had to go for another audition. I was invited for another movie and from then on, many other producers started giving me roles,? she said.
But her new found love didn''t go down well with he
parents.
I didn?t even tell my parents what I was going into.I knew they weren''t going to like it; so I had to do it behind them. It was not until the movie was released that they knew I was going into acting.
But now, they are comfortable with it and they are proud of me,? she said.
Now, Nwagbo is enjoying the life of an actress and the glamour that comes with it. But Ebube said the life style was not as rosy as it seemed. You can no longer do what you want to do. You are now like a public figure. You cannot sneeze without seeing somebody looking at you. You don''t have control over your private life again. You now have a lot of people as your fans, she said.
