Blessing Nze, a Nigerian actress, has described a traumatic moment in her career when a well-known Nollywood director informed her she was too ugly to be on screen.
In an interview with Saturday Punch, she reflected on her career in film and said this. She claims that although the director’s remarks deeply affected her, they did not deter her from moving forward.
Blessing said: “I even remember when a popular director I deeply respected once told me I was too ugly to be in front of the camera. But look at me now.”
She also addressed the buzz surrounding the age difference between her and her husband, Stan Nze.
The mother of one said she finds it amusing how people exaggerate their age gap online.
She said: “There is no age difference in marriage. We are married so we are one. I see all kinds of things and laugh. I honour my husband as my priest and father figure.
“Besides, it’s not all those ridiculous years on the Internet. It is just two years difference, but all those things do not matter. Age is just a number. Even when we were dating, it was never up for a conversation.”
