Ex-Delta Soap model and actress, Angela Okorie, hit Nollywood in 2009 after she had her breakthrough on the set of Holy Serpent. Ever since, the actress has continued to grow from strength to strength.
In this interview with The Entertainer, she talks about her career, family and how her husband has been a pillar of support. Excerpts:
Tell us about your tattoos?
These are things you do when you are much younger and growing up as a teenager because you’re curious and you want to experiment with everything. I was seeing people’s tattoos so I went and got one. Nothing is really attached to it though; that’s the only tattoo I have. I guess I will soon take it off because I am tired of it already.
Were you born with a silver spoon?
(Laughing) We were not really rich but we were okay; we were not lacking. My parents trained us very well. I am from a family of five and I`m the third child. I am a very industrious person. I have always seen myself working hard. I don’t believe in lazing away and getting money from my parents. I got admission at the age of 17 and started modeling with Delta Soap at the age of 18.
I was a model with Delta Soap for close to 10 years. And now I am an actress so I have always been an independent woman from the beginning. I hate laziness and I always get everything I want by myself; I am a goal getter.
