HOW I ALMOST GOT STARK NAKED ON SET — CYNTHIA OKONKWO

Nollywood actress Cynthia okonkwo has reveals how she almost got naked on set. Before your mind starts running wild with all sorts of imaginations, this is a girl that would never go nude on set at any price. At least that was what she said a couple of years ago. The idea of nudity or going stark naked crept in to her story as a result of what you may call occupational hazard. Every job has it, isn’t?
Beautiful, with a cherubic kind of vulnerability, you wouldn’t have thought Cynthia has a strong streak in her make-up. But Nollywood isn’t a place you pick roses as you walk through the path. It’s a damn cut-throat game that requires you’re dealing the cards with guts and blood.
“Well, I haven’t really gone through so much stress in getting roles in movies. But that does not mean I haven’t been attending auditions and facing my own challenges. I attended auditions after auditions but I never gave up any hope. It wasn’t so stressful for me even though I got my first role, while attending audition. Since then, I haven’t looked back” she once smugly said of her journey into the movies.
But has any picture a story as squeaky clean as the picture? Not a chance! Everyone has that moment of dread, that moment you want to
