I’m not a prostitute, I chose to act with ‘bare breast’ – Peace Francis


Up and coming Nollywood actress, Peace Maria Francis, has defended her role in a certain movie in which she appeared ‘bare-breasted’, saying she was ‘just being professional.’
In the epic movie, the actress who hails from Akwa Ibom state, appeared in different scenes flaunting her bare breasts and a few weeks after the completion of the shoot, she came under name-calling from fans who tagged her a ‘prostitute’, ‘shameless hustler’.
Defending herself, the budding actress in a chat with Nollywood Insider, said, “It is all because I wanted to use it to tell the real story of what happened back then in our country, Nigeria.
“It is also in a bid to tell our younger ones how we started back then, and the only way to do that, is to express it in a professional manner.
“That is what I am in the industry to do; tell people the real story and interpret such roles very well, for their better understanding and enjoyment, as a professional actor.
“I do take risk. This means and shows how serious I take my job. It is a sign of the sacrifice and effort I put in it to make my acts have some sense of reality, while sending good messages to our people.”
The actress cried out loud, saying, “I am a Christian and I fear God and worship him as best as I can, but would that stop me from doing my job? I think that shouldn’t.
“Some ask how much I was paid to expose my body like that. Others want to know ask why I did it. They say I am desperate and a paid prostitute.
“I’m not here for fame or money. I really love my job. I do it professionally. I went into acting because I love it. That’s the only thing I do that gives me joy. I am here to make a difference. It’s about my passion.
“Let the world know that it is not easy for anyone to come out and change his or her identity, in order to make films look real. The world should be more supportive than criticising us.
“Show me love and appreciation, and not condemnation. This is about my profession and I want to express myself better as it should be done, in my acting career.”
“My manager told me about the job and I agreed to take part in it. I wasn’t forced to do it,” Peace said.
