“Now I have my two babies to care for” – Annie Idibia talks married life, work-life balance, more

Mrs. Idibia, Annie Macaulay Idibia has said married life is all she expected it to be and more. Then went on to lament that she never has enough time to do everything now that she’s married and has two babies to take care of. In an interview with Ibaka tv, on location of a movie, Girls in the mood, Idibia reportedly said: “…the only thing is shuffling my work, my home and my kid. I have so much to attend to; I almost feel like 24 hours is not enough. Now I have work, I have my daughter and I have my husband -my two babies to take care of. I also have my own personal runs. So, it is always very busy, my days are always extremely busy,” she was quoted as saying.
About the movie she’s currently filming, Idibia plays the role of a drug addict who was raped at 13. Idibia explained that she had never played a role like that and the character is a direct contrast to who she really is. She also revealed her ultimate role would be playing a blind girl or a hardened criminal.
“I play the character called Tessy, I actually really love this character. It is something I have not played before. She is a drug addict; she takes a lot of cocaine, weed, cigarettes, drinks- she is just a very reckless girl. I think what is fascinating about the character is that she is an addict. She is always itchy and when she doesn’t have her fix, she needs to get some. I love the character; it is different from anything that I have played. There was a time she was in jail for about four days and she had had it up to here, she was all itchy and saying she needs her fix. She is a very reckless girl and she is the exact opposite of who I am. I love the fact that I could step out of Annie Macaulay Idibia’s shoes and be somebody else who is totally reckless. I love the character totally,” she reportedly said.

On working with directors and producers:

“I have not faced advances from directors or producers. Before when they say it, I don’t get it. I just believe that if you have what it takes, if you have the talent, then eventually you will be called upon. I don’t think there is any field they don’t harass women but if you have it, eventually someone is going to see it and give you a chance. ‘Fear no gree them o’. Nobody tried to hit on me on that level.”
