NWU: Fine thank you. First of all, where have you been all our lives? (general laughter) J.B: I’ve been there, I’ve been there but not necessarily in Nollywood. NWU: You do know you’re a dreamboat, don’t you? (general laughter). Can you tell us a bit about your professional background? J.B: I first started as a child actor on NTA’s ‘Tales by Moonlight’. NWU: No kidding! J.B: Yes, I did several of those production, then I acted in ‘Super Story’, ‘Edge of Paradise’,168, and Mnet’s ‘Tinsel’. NWU: Has anybody ever told you you look a lot like Desmond Elliot? J.B: I get that a lot. I guess it’s the dark complexion. NWU: Have you ever acted in a Nollywood movie? J.B: Funny enough yes but that was a long time ago. It was called ‘Travels of Faith’. I was an extra. I also acted in Zeb Ejiro TV series but I have been doing more of modeling. NWU: When can you say you had your big break? When the world took notice of you J.B: It was definitely ‘The Project Fame’ gig, I was a presenter on the MTN Project Fame show and it certainly opened doors for me, being aired all over Africa. NWU: So what projects have you been doing film-wise? J.B: I’ve shot a film with respected director, Mahmood Ali Balogun called ‘Tango with Me’. It was a big budget movie, shot on celluloid and all that. I acted with Genevieve. NWU: I see… I hear you got to kiss her too… how was that? (laughter) J.B: Great! She’s a very good kisser that I can tell you! (laughter) NWU: What other films should we expect to see you in? J.B: A film called ‘Spell Bound’ and ‘Bursting Loose’… both produced by Emem Isong. NWU: Hmm, you got called back a second time… you must have impressed her. You know she is fond of discovering new talent… Stella Damasus, Dakore Egbuson, Nse Ikpe-Etim are just a few names of people she is said to have discovered. Do you think you are the next anointed one? J.B: Let’s wait and see… let the audience decide. NWU: I hear you sing as well. J.B: Yes I do. NWU: What kind of music? J.B: Soul… anything jazzy too. NWU: You sing, you act … is there anything else you do that we should know about? J.B: I do Voice Overs for commercials too. NWU: I repeat, where have you been all our lives? (sigh) J.B: (in deep, baritone voice over mode) I’ve been right here… and Im here to stay! NWU: Yipee! (Do I hear an ‘Amen, somebody?) |
