Renowned Nollywood actress, Ruth Eze, has candidly opened up about her reservations regarding marrying a fellow male actor in the industry.
In an interview with PUNCH, Ruth expressed her willingness to marry a filmmaker but unequivocally ruled out the possibility of marrying [/b]a fellow actor.
Explaining her decision, she revealed that actresses, both single and married, often bring food to actors while on set, a practice she deems disrespectful.
Ruth emphasized that if the public were privy to the behind-the-scenes lifestyle of some Nollywood actors during movie shoots, they might reconsider any association with them.
“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,” she stated.
Addressing the importance of privacy in a relationship or marriage, Ruth Eze emphasized the need to maintain a low-key lifestyle away from social media.
“A lot of people don’t like to see others, especially in Nollywood in the eastern part of the country. We don’t like one another. I cannot expose my relationship, or who I am in love with.
“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 added.
