Nigerian actress, Nancy Isime has taken to her social media to show pictures of shocking transformations she had to undergo for certain roles.
Really, acting is an art. The ability of the actors and actresses to transform into various characters to drive their point home is extremely remarkable and Nancy has shown a sneak peek into this life.
Taking to her Instagram page, Nancy writes: “Yup! That’s me.
“So I’ve decided to talk about some characters I’ve played as an actor that required complete/partial transformation.
“Getting into character for this role in #DisguiseTheMovie was a trip for me! I’d watch men around me closely and only sit with men on set. I refused to be referred to as babe or dear and you’d probably catch me walking or sitting like a man most times( slide 4). I even tried toasting women around my shoot vicinity and almost got slapped because I was too forward with the toasting?
“I know you’re wondering, where’s your breast, Nancy. Lmao!
“So after wearing my costume on the first day of the shoot, I looked at my chest and said please go and buy bandage let’s tie it! So yes, we tied my b---s through outshoot. In the beginning, I thought I was going to die because I could barely breathe but as time went by I got used to it.
“The transformation was so complete that my friends will come on set to visit and walk past me. I called my man a few times on video call to torment him and I stayed away from seeing him for a few shoot days because I didn’t want to be reminded of my feminine side. Lmao!
“Some policemen stopped me and were convinced I was a yahoo boy till I spoke and they said I was a Lesbian and they had to arrest me.
“Honorable @desmondelliot and the crew all came to meet us on the road because my stubbornness no get part 2. I was legit fighting the policemen like a man in the middle of the road, refusing to come down or open my car and couldn’t move because they blocked me causing serious traffic. Shoot me or let me pass. Lesbian kill una die?
“I also had to play a feminine side so I pleaded that production scheduled those scenes for towards the end of the shoot so I don’t break in and out of character too much.
“This character earned me a nomination in an Amsterdam Film Festival as well as many nominations and wins here at home.
“Have you seen Disguise? If you haven’t, it’s currently on @irokotv.
“If you have, what are your thoughts?
