Actress and content creator Monica Friday has shared that her main consideration for taking on any movie role is that it must glorify God.
Speaking in an interview with Saturday Beats, she explained, “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.”
Her remarks highlight her strong faith and her dedication to ensuring her work aligns with her spiritual values.
Despite her openness to a variety of roles, Monica Friday expressed concerns about being typecast due to her comedic performances.
She said, “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.”
Her remarks highlight her desire for versatility in her acting career, even as she acknowledges the success others have achieved by embracing specific character niches.
