Ghanaian actress, Ella Mensah, who is currently in
Nigeria shooting a movie, says she wants to be the
best Ghanian actress in Nollywood. Looking at her
busy schedules since she first hit Nollywood in 2012,
it appears the actress may have an ace up her
sleeves. Her most notable films include Educated
Housemaids, 11am, Mirabel, Crime to Christ,
Playboy, Couples on Fire to name a few.
But one feature you cannot miss about the
Ghallywood star is her taunting big boobs with deep
cleavage. In this exclusive interview with Showtime
Celebrity, he talks about how her boobs got big, her
journey in Nollywood, and more:
Are you working on any project now?
Yes. I just came back from Awka where I shot one
Royal Glamour movie with Rise and Shine
Productions. I’m in Lagos now and I have a shoot on
Thursday (last Thursday) with another production
house; I think it’s an independent production.
How has life in Nollywood been so far?
It’s all right. The only difference between Nollywood
and where I come from (Ghana) is that they shoot
more in Nollywood – you are always working. In
Ghana, we don’t have many producers, but there are
many producers here and if you want to shoot
everyday, you shoot everyday but not all the scripts
are good. The difference is that here, you work a lot.
So, you are saying Ghana movies have more quality
than Nigerian ones?
Obviously, Ghanaian movies have more quality than
most of Nigerian films. The normal Ghanaian movies
we shoot are what Nigerians call cinema movies but
we in Ghana don’t call them cinema movies, it’s our
standard way of shooting movies. Almost every
movie shot in Ghana is a cinema movie whereas
here, it is not.
What has been your most daring role in a movie?
The daring thing I did was one movie I shot last year
where I had to take off my bra. They didn’t show my
front, they showed my back, like my back being bare,
no bra and all that but I can’t remember the movie
title now.
As a sexy actress, would you say your assets have
helped you in getting roles?
No, I think I get many offers for roles; a lot of people
always say it is because I am pretty or because I am
endowed. Yes, you need to be presentable; you need
to be pretty to be in front of a camera but at the
same time it’s not all about that. You need to be
talented, you need to know what you do; you need to
speak well and be eloquent. You just have to have
talent but beauty is more like icing on the cake.
What can you do to stun or ‘wow’ fans in a movie?
Funny enough I’m still thinking about that particular
thing because Nollywood is a big industry and there
are so many stars; there’s nothing anybody has not
done. Since I’m a Ghanaian and I want to be a
household name in Nollywood, my team and I are
planning on something big that would shake the
whole of Nigeria but for now, I think I’ll keep that as
a surprise.
You said there’s a difference between romantic scene
and sex scene?
Yeah, a lot of people get confused about romantic
scenes and sex scenes. Being romantic to someone
and having sex with someone is not the same. You
can be romantic to someone without sleeping with
the person and sleeping with someone is not being
romantic. Sex is sex, romance is another thing
altogether. Being romantic to someone is not having
sex with the person; sex is different. Sex scenes and
romantic scenes are different, people should just get
it
What has been your most daring sexual role in a
movie?
I’ve had more than ten movies where I had to do a
sex scene or seduced someone. There’s one movie I
did ‘Educated Housemaids’ where I had to seduce a
millionaire’s son and I thought the only way to get
him was to sleep with him. A lot of people think sex
scenes are real but they are not real because there
are so many people behind the scene. You might
think that we are under the duvet doing something,
we are not doing anything because we put on bum
shorts, suits and all that faking things, acting like
we’re moaning and all that. It’s all acting
I think Ghana movies have crossed the lines many
times when it comes to soft porn?
What people don’t get is that going nude in Ghanaian
movies is not all nude. There’s something called ‘cuts
and paste.’ If you’re shooting a movie and they say
you should take off your bra and then the camera
wants to zoom to your front, it’s not your real breast
they show, I just want people to know.
Then whose breast do they show?
It’s not real. What we do is that the camera would say
action and then the camera would show my hand
removing my own bra from my back and when I take
it off, there’s something covering my face. We have
special effects directors and there’s this breast silicon
thing they put across your breast with something to
hold it to just let viewers think that it’s your breast.
Mostly, we don’t even zoom the front part, it’s just
the side and it’s silicon; it’s not natural.
How much are they paying us to go totally nude? This
is not Hollywood that they give you a million dollars
to go nude; like Angelina Jolie you feel comfortable
showing everything because they give you like 15
million dollars but we are talking about Ghana and
Nigeria. They don’t even pay anything close to that.
So nobody is showing boobs for real here, it’s not
true, it’s just cut and paste and they just join
everything in the editing room to make it look real
