My boobs have helped my career – Bridget Amos

Bridget Amos is an upcoming actress with big
ideas. Despite coming into the industry in 2008,
the Kwara State-born beauty has made films of
her own. Unlike many of her peers, who would
jump at anything for the sake of relevance in the
industry, Bridget has set certain standards for
herself and would not produce more than one film
a year. (By damilola)
She’s based in Malaysia and does both English
and Yoruba films. Her latest movie ‘Eko’ is set
to be released soon. In this exclusive interview,
she talks about her career, life and more.
What are you currently working on?
My movie ‘Eko’ which literally means ‘Lesson’.
The film is an eye-opener for people who believe
that without travelling abroad they cannot make it
in this life. The film is planned to educate them
that it’s not until you travel abroad before you
make it, just focus on what you’re doing and you
can make it anywhere.
Which has been your biggest movie so far?
It’s a movie called Ere; a Yoruba movie. There’s
another one called Omo Malaysia. In fact , there
are many of them I can’t remember right now
How has the journey in Nollywood been?
Stressful, I will say. For one, there is the issue of
location logistics. At times they may lodge you in
a hotel without adequate facilities. And because
this is a profession you love, you have to manage
whatever is thrown at you. Even feeding, at times
on location, becomes a problem because
adequate provisions are not made. It has not
been easy, at all, but we have to stick to it
because it is a profession we love.
What has been your biggest challenge so far?
You know Jide Kosoko? There was a time I was
supposed to play a role alongside him but he
brought someone else instead. He said he wanted
the person to play the role in my place. I felt very
bad. Along the line he changed his mind and
asked me to take the role but I had been so
heartbroken that I couldn’t pick myself up again. I
eventually lost the role.
How do you get into character when you see
scripts?
Since you love it and you enjoy doing it, it’s very
easy. If you love acting, once you’re given a role
it would be easy for you to act it out.
Who is your biggest inspiration in acting?
Ayo Adesanya
Can you do something sexy in a movie?
Yes, I can be very sexy and very romantic.
Can you flaunt your boobs, stuff like that?
It’s part of acting so I can do it. I can play any
role. Once you’re an actor, you should be able to
play any role
Have your boobs ever helped you in getting a
role?

Yes!!
