Actress and content creator, Monica Friday has stated that her primary criterion for accepting any movie role is that it must glorify God.
In an interview with Saturday Beats, she said, “Before any role comes my way, I believe God has already designed me for that production. As a Christian, I have already told God that whatever production He doesn’t want me to be part of, may it not come my way. I might have to play a half-nude role in a movie, but as long as the film glorifies God through its message, I’m fine with it. For me, it is all about the message.”
Despite her openness to diverse roles, Friday expressed concerns about being typecast due to her comedic performances.
She added, “I would love to explore other roles, such as playing a character carrying an AK-47 or taking on an action role, like someone training for karate. I don’t like being stereotyped. However, I realised that people like Osuofia and Mama Patience Ozokwor have made their millions through these kinds of roles.”
