Nkonkonsa Celebrity Gossip From Africa
The lack of dedication some young performers in the film industry are displaying infuriates Ghanaian movie stars Majd Michel and Yvonne Nelson.
They claim that many aspiring actors take the craft of acting lightly and wonder if they are prepared for the career they want.
On the Metro TV program Entertainment Review, Yvonne Nelson made the observation that some aspiring performers lacked fundamental work ethics, such as getting their lines right.
“You can give them a year, they won’t get their lines. It all comes down to their work ethics. They are unserious. You want to put people on but ask yourself, do they really want it? Do they really want this platform you’re giving them?” she passionately asked.
The Princess Tyra actress said that the youthful performers lacked knowledge of the workings of the business.
“After the movie is shot, it comes down to promoting it but will they have the time for it? Do they even know what this whole promotion thing is all about? Can they even do interviews? So many things are involved that they have little or no knowledge of,” she said.
Majid Michel claimed that the aspiring performers today have no sense of sacrifice in the episode as well. He talked about how, in the beginning of his career, he had to put up with a lot on film sets.
“They have no sense of sacrifice. They want it easy like not sharing a room or having internet access in their rooms. We came to shoot a movie. They said they won’t share a room. Meanwhile, I used to sleep on the floor for two weeks. Not on any soft mattress but on a bedsheet on the ground,” he said.
