Popular actress, Ayo Adesanya, has given an insight into why she sometimes turns down movie roles.
The acress has featured in many films and she is respected for her usually sterling deliveries, be it in comic or other roles.
She features in Yoruba and English movies.
According to her, however, it’s not every film that appeals to her, giving factors of cash, director and instinct as deciders.
In an interview with ‘Saturday Punch’, she says, “I turn down lots of movie roles. Sometimes, it could be because of the money. One cannot really be paid what one is worth. But then, you need to pay something so that my soul can release my talent. When one is not well paid, one will do it grudgingly. People just see one on the screen, they don’t want to know if one is well paid or not.
“Secondly, I also consider the director when deciding to feature in a movie. If you want me to feature in a movie, I would ask you who the director is. I would also check the director’s track records. If I see what the person has done and I am satisfied, I would probably come on board. If I see what the person has done and I am not satisfied, I have refused some jobs because of that. My instincts sometimes tell me what to do. It is better to drop the script if one knows it won’t work for one.”
