Real Reasons I Didn’t Marry My Baby Daddy — Lizzy Gold Finally Opens Up In An Interview

 Since she made her acting debut in 2012, after trying her hands at modelling, Lizzy Gold Onuwaje has not looked back in her bid to conquer the screens. To date, she remains one of the divas ruling the screens in the country.

With her enviable skills and terrific screen presence, the former Miss Delta State is known to be the favourite of many producers and directors who would stop at nothing to feature her in their movies. Despite this, Lizzy is not married and she’s not thinking of doing so, any time soon.

According to her, she’s not mentally and psychologically ready for marriage now. Just as she boasted that no man has ever broken her heart. “Most times I am the one who walks away.” she enthused. The single mother of two kids also talks about her journey and other issues bordering on her career.

Ups and downs in Nollywood

When I joined the industry, I wasn’t really getting paid. But for the fact that I had a passion for acting, I wasn’t thinking of the money. Rather, I concentrated on my craft. That was the down aspect of my journey. But right now, I’d jump from one set to another, and I’m getting well paid too.

Starting off as a model

I started off as a model when I won the Miss Delta State beauty pageant. I decided to go into acting because I had always wanted to be an actress. I didn’t abandon modelling for acting. I still do modelling jobs once in a while.

Between acting and modelling

I have an undying passion for acting more than modelling. Modelling comes once in a while, but for acting, once you feel it’s there, you just keep working back to back.

Support from my parents

When I won the Miss Delta beauty pageant, my parents were happy with me. And since then, they have been supporting me. They didn’t like it initially but now, they are all for me.

My experiences on set

Every movie comes with its own challenges. So far, my experience on different sets has been cool. No negative vibes.

Where lies my strength

There’s this poise I had when I played the role of a goddess. I had that poise when I started modelling. So it’s in me when I’m given a role of a princess or goddess I play it effortlessly because already there’s the poise which I had during my days in modelling.
