Plus sized actress and Instagram sensation, Nneka Nkem is gradually winning for herself a massive followership on social media. No thanks to the comedy skits she features on posted online.
In a chat with TheNewsGuru, the versatile role interpreter noted that she gets naughty messages from fans.
According to her:” They can be really a handful, a lot of them. Some ask me if I can be their sugar mummy. I get a lot of naughty messages from my fans. I don’t think I can remember all of them. It’s social media, everybody has a right to express themselves”.
Sharing the ideal role, she would love to play, Nkem noted that an actor should be diverse and versatile.
“I don’t think there is any such thing as ideal role in quote, because as an actor you should be seen taking as many roles and different characters as possible. Your ability to play different roles according to the script is what makes you an actor. You just have to be able to play these roles properly and interpret them well. As an actor, you should be able to fit into every character given to you. As an actor, I don’t think there should be anything called an ideal role, for me I can fit into any character. Except for porn, I am not a porn star”.
Asked If she has ever been body shamed as a plus-sized damsel, she said: “Almost every plus sized girl must have experienced it. It is not a good thing because some people feel really bad about it. Some plus sized women have inferiority complex, they don’t want to come out because they don’t know how people feel about them. They tend to worry a lot about how people see or perceive them”.
“I wasn’t even as big as I am right now when I experienced body shaming. There was a time I wanted to fit into the society in order to be accepted. However, I decided to focus on me and decided to be myself. There was a time I felt I wasn’t good enough and I started taking loads of sliming tea. It almost compromised my health. The only thing I am all about now is being who I am and staying healthy. Trying as much as I can to imbibe exercises into my everyday life”.
