The actress finally reveals reason behind style choice
If asked to compile a list of top actresses and personalities currently killing it in Nigeria, the list would be incomplete without the ever-smiling, ever-bubbly Nancy Isime. Nancy Isime has carved quite a niche for herself, starting out as a television personality and host, and making her transition into the Nigerian movie and television industry.
Now her new Netflix show, Blood Sisters, starring Ini Dima-Okojie would begin streaming on Netflix tomorrow. It is safe to say Nancy is having a wonderful time in her career right now.
During a press run to promote her new TV show, the beautiful actress sat down with The Guardian to talk about a number of things including the show, her take on manslaughter, and why she decided to shave her head and keep it as low cut. Here's what Nancy said on each issue.
Speaking about her new show, Blood Sisters, where she would be playing the character of Kemi, Nancy said:
Embodying Kemi was interesting. She is such a strong powerhouse and knows what she wants despite her young age. She is just a girl who is family-oriented and also the kind of best friend who is ready to kill for you, literally. I enjoyed her taking over my role for the few weeks we filmed.
Look out for the blood, the gory, the horror, the twist, and just look out for the girls. It’s so funny because I feel like a lot of people would feel sympathetic towards the girls and be on their side the entire series. That’s something I want to see; are you on the side of the girls or against them?
Speaking on the topic of manslaughter (the crime of killing a human being without malice aforethought, or in circumstances not amounting to murder), a topic which the show touches on, Nancy said:
It depends on the scenario. Sometimes it’s self-defence. So, for a man slaughtered, of course, killing a person is never right. But there are scenarios where the person was defending himself. But that’s not my part to tell. The court will always dig into it and see what it is
Speaking about her decision to shave her head and keep a low cut as her signature style, Nancy said:
I was hot one day and decided it was time to cut my hair, but I cut it to wear wigs comfortably. After cutting it, I was like, ‘See, babe, oh!’. Deciding to push the envelope further, I met up with my barber, tried a few hair colours, and Voila, a signature look, was born.
