A
few weeks after photos of bare-breasted actresses from the set of an
epic movie,hit the internet upcoming actresses Peace Maria Francis has
defended their act, saying it was all about the profession.
In an
exclusive interview with Nollywood Insider ,Peace, who hails from Akwa
Ibom state appealed to her fans and movie enthusiasts
“Show me
love and appreciation, and not condemnation. This is about my profession
and I want to express myself better as it should be done, in my acting
career.”“My manager got it for me. He told me about the job and I agreed
to take part in it. I wasn’t forced to do it.
It is all because I
wanted to use it to tell the real story of what happened back then in
our country, Nigeria. It is also in a bid to tell our younger ones how
we started back then, and the only way to do that, is to express it in a
professional manner. That is what I am in the industry to do; tell
people the real story and interpret such roles very well, for their
better understanding and enjoyment."" As a professional actor I do take
risk. For I take enormous pride when people call me an actor.
This means
and shows how serious I take my job. It is a sign of the sacrifice and
effort I put in it to make my acts have some sense of reality, while
sending good messages to our people, “she philosophized. She continued
to implore the indulgence of her fans, in terms of propriety, since some
persons have taken to calling her unprintable names, “I am a Christian,
for crying out loud. I fear God and worship him as best as I can. But
would that stop me from doing my job? I think that shouldn’t.
Some
ask how much I was paid to expose my body like that. Others want to
know ask why I did it. They say I am desperate and a paid prostitute.
All I want them to know is that I am just a good actor, who takes her
job with the seriousness it deserves. I only played the character given
to me and interpret the role well. I’m not here for fame or money. I
really love my job. I do it professionally. I went into acting because I
love it. That’s the only thing I do that gives me joy. I am here to
make a difference. It’s about my passion.”
