Speaking further, Ruth said that people are too scared to collect food from their Nollywood colleagues and they would rather buy their own food.
“There is no actor in Nollywood, especially in Asaba (Delta State), that one would buy food for on set and they would eat. Everybody is scared, because of how dangerous that side is. When one goes for any production, one is usually scared. So, in order to be careful, one has to buy one’s food”, she said.
Also during the interview, Ruth Eze disclosed that she can never marry an actor going by the things she witnesses happening on set. According to her, even her married colleagues are not exempted from these acts.
She said:
“I can never marry a colleague. I can marry a filmmaker, but not an actor. If you see the things they do on set while filming, even the married ones, you wouldn’t want to have anything to do with them. Other girls come to look for them, and some even bring food.
Imagine filming in Enugu and your family is in Asaba; you would see girls bringing food to them on set. Imagine being in love with such an actor and witnessing that. The only colleague I would have loved to get married to is already married.”
Very few have genuine friendships - Movie producer
A Nigerian movie producer, Adeola Omooba, spoke with Legit.ng on Ruth Eze's take on the distrust in Nollywood.
While admitting that she can't speak for the Asaba film industry, she agreed that friendships in Nollywood are not always what they seem.
In her words:
"There’s a lot of unhealthy competition in the industry as a whole. I have seen actors eat from each other though maybe because I don’t work in Asaba, Lol. But despite the public display of love and support, it is not always the same behind closed doors. I believe that very few have genuine friendships while others are social media friends who don’t hesitate to begin gossip sessions about each other."
