US-based Nigerian actress, singer, writer and
model, Afrocandy, real name Judith Opara-Mazagwu, talks about her obsession with
sexually explicit movies and her latest work, Destructive Instinct.
Any special reason you chose the name,
AfroCandy?
I chose the name because guys call me ‘Eye
Candy’. And I figured, if I’m an eye candy and I’m African, I should be an
AfroCandy.
Did you do a boob job or are your breasts
natural?
No, I did not do any boob job. My boobs are all
mine, naturally made and given to me by my creator.
Why did you go into pornographic
movies?
I’m not into pornography. I’ll say this over and
over. The fact that I chose to make romance and sex scenes in my movies real
should not make me a porn star. Now tell me, would you call the actors that play
assassin and killer roles in movies murderers because they play such roles? Why
are eyebrows being raised over this my movie? Or, is it because it has to do
with sex, which is supposed to be a way of life? I find that to be sexist
honestly. You can call me daring, brave, bold and beautiful. And I will like you
to tell me what you call movies like ‘Basic Instinct, ‘I spit on your grave’ and
the likes of them. And I’ll also like you to tell me what you may call actors
like Sharon Stone, Halley Berry and co for taking similar roles in those movies
before I can answer you directly.
Is there a market for pornographic movies
in Nigeria?
Yes, there’s definitely a big market for my kind
of movies in Nigeria and Africa as a whole, judging from the responses, requests
and orders I have received so far. You already know your people, they will
criticise in public but go behind to buy it and hide in their bedrooms to watch
it. I’m not worried about the censors board, we got that locked down.
Have you settled issues with the guy who
acted in your movie, ‘Destructive Instinct,’ and wanted to pull out?
Yes, we have settled the matter and are moving
on.
What was the contract like?
I wouldn’t want to go into the details; but the
bottom line is, the case has been closed and we are on to the next one.
Was the guy aware that he was going to
feature in a porn movie?
Yes he was. And again, not a porn movie, but he
knew he was going to get naked in the movie and he willingly did it.
Why did he want to pull out?
It’s a long story and I think I already addressed
that already in one of my interviews.
How do you deal with advances from
men?
I don’t deal with that at all.
What is your impression about
gays?
My impression about them is, they are mostly
adults, they know what is right and what is wrong and choose to do what is best
for them. I guess they know what they want and what they want to do with their
lives. So it’s normal.
Would you act in a gay movie?
Yes, I will. Matter of fact, I have a script for
that and I guess that doesn’t make me gay now, right?
Which part of your body turns guys on the
most?
Ha ha ha…thats’a very funny question, but how
would I even know that? I guess you should conduct a wide search for that and
maybe ask the guys for that.
Uche Ogbodo has reportedly turned down your
offer to feature in a porn movie. Who will you invite to replace
her?
I never even spoke to her yet, only made an
announcement for an up and coming production. But I have worked with bigger and
better actors and will always do; so that’s not important now.
How many films have you acted in and
produced so far?
As many as possible.
Where are you from? What is your
educational background?
I am from Imo State in Nigeria. As per education,
I am a graduate with two associate degrees in office administration and computer
science; a Bachelor’s degree in business management and a graduate in medical
billing and coding. I’m also getting ready to go back to school to study
law.
Have Cossy Orjiakor and Anita Joseph
accepted your offer?
I wouldn’t like to disclose that, but I’ll keep
you posted.
How do your daughters feel about your roles
in porn movies?
I may be their mother because I brought them into
the world. I may have the privilege to raise them up to adult age. But you know,
I cannot tell them what to do or follow at a certain age. Besides, they are
Americans who have their own minds. If they graduate from college and decide to
follow my footsteps, it’s their own calling. If I can predict, they wouldn’t
want to do what I do because they have better opportunities and better futures
than mine. All I do now is to secure a better future for them so they don’t have
to go through what I went through in my life time. Mind you, I tell my daughters
everything I do. I even told them about this project, the nature of it, but I
could not show them because they are not up to 18 yet. I just had to prepare
them in case they run into it on the Internet, they won’t be shocked. So don’t
worry about my daughters, they are the best children any mother could ever ask
for and I thank God for the gift. LOOD Naija
