Shan George: Romantic Roles in Movies Makes me Feel Uncomfortable
Nollywood actress, Shan George has revealed that romantic roles in movies make her feel uncomfortable.
The 50-year-old screen-darling made this known in an interview with Punch.
In the interview, George was quoted as saying playing romantic roles in movies is an awkward job for her.
The actress said she’s not a romantic person, adding that she feels weird holding someone she’s not romantically connected to.
Her words: “I am not comfortable with romantic roles. Playing romantic roles has never been my strong suit. It is one of the roles that have never gone down well with me. I just do it because it is my job. I think I am not comfortable with it because I am not a very romantic person.
“The thought of holding someone that is not mine is weird. I am a typical village woman, so I have some funny thoughts about it. I am not saying it is a bad thing or that people should not take such roles but I am just not comfortable with it. But, I like to watch others do it. When it comes to acting, everyone has their areas of specialty.”
On the most awkward role she has played, George stated, “One of the most awkward movie roles I have had was acting as a mermaid. It was very challenging because I was trying to be something that I didn’t know and something I had never seen. How does a mermaid laugh or express anger?”
