She is one of the old faces, I mean, for her to have spent 12 years in
the industry shows that she has really come of age. But Doris, mother of
one, will not hide from revealing the intrigues behind the producers
and actresses before making a complete film.
She was recently
asked if she has ever being wooed before by any producer and she said,
”It happens but it all depends on how you present and carry yourself as
well as how you take your job. Some people are desperate and they would
do anything just to get whatever role they want but I’m not the
desperate type.
I believe so much in my talent and God. I’m one
of those that believe that whatever is mine would always come to me and
whatever is not mine won’t come to me. To me it’s like asking me for
something and if I can’t offer it or don’t want to offer it, I simply
say no. No one would force you, you would always be asked to see how
desperate you are and if you say no, no one would force you. No one
would rape you if you refuse it, so it’s about your mindset and how you
present yourself.’’
On marriage, she explained how she met her
estranged husband, Daniel, “funny enough, when I met him, I just came
back from a job and I was called up by the location manager. I didn’t
want to do the job but she was on my neck and wanted me to do the job
for the producer and because she told me that majority of the crew were
from English movies,
I decided to do it because I’ve heard a lot
about these people being arrogant and all that. I wanted to see how
they were but unfortunately, every member of the crew irrespective of
their native tongue was friendly that I kept wondering where the
perceived arrogance went.
They were so accommodating and that
changed my perception about a lot of these colleagues. So, it was on
that set that I met him because he was the producer and director of the
movie which was Omo Jaiye Jaiye. He would walk up to me and greet me and
he was always friendly like others and on that location, we all didn’t
want to go and we became friends. From there, marriage and a child and
later a break up.”
