Aspiring Nollywood actress Mercy Macjoe had a bitter –sweet life experience that has been swept away since she became an actress. She joined Nollywood in 2011 and has been featured in many movies. She has opened up on what happens during romantic scenes on set.
She denies being turn up on romantic scenes “You cannot get turned on during acting. I don’t think artistes should get turned on because they are not the only ones at the location. You can talk about chemistry. If it feels real that is different. Getting turned on means you want to make love to the person. When you are acting with someone that you have chemistry with its easier for you to kiss that person if the role says kiss. You cannot be turned on when there are a lot of people behind you.”
About her childhood “I didn’t have all the opportunities when I was growing up. I grew up with my mum. I lost my dad at a very young age so it was just my mum who took care of me and my other siblings. I am the sixth in a family of eight. I wasn’t born with a silver spoon in my mouth; I had to do so many things to survive. I assisted my mum in her buying and selling business.”
She added “I sold so many things with my mum. I remember selling oranges and some other things with my mum. I am proud to say it now because the story is different now. I hawked oranges and some other things, helping my mum and siblings to survive. I am always proud to say it because it was in the past and I can’t sell oranges now.”
