The Nollywood actress Paschaline Alex, who skyrocketed to fame performing a role as a lesbian, says she does not think she has seen anything that she cannot perform on screen, unlike many other actresses.
Paschaline Alex has performed variety of roles
Speaking to the press, Alex, who has appeared in College Girls, Bleeding Tree, Educated Housemaids, All Hands On Deck, The Wanted Girl and many more movies, said that “I don’t think I’ve seen that thing that I can’t do as far as it’s what I love doing” adding that “though nobody would force you to play any role you don’t want but I’ve not seen that role I can’t do”.

Alex also said that the traditions deeply rooted in Nigerian cultures are the barriers that prevent many Nollywood stars from being fully sincere and believable on screen.
“When it comes to going nude, they believe the girl is promiscuous forgetting this thing we do is a job that must be done,” she said, disclosing that some of the actresses are so badly affected by the cultural traditions that they even refuse to perform a kiss on set if it is required by the plot.

“People must understand that this is a make-believe job where you have to get into all sorts of characters to deliver a role and make people truly enjoy the movie like it is the real thing” she concluded, saying that Nigerian culture made it very hard to get some things objectified on screen without risking being publicly disgraced by society.
She also tweeted recently:
Untying yourself from the boundaries of your background and rewriting your future….it’s a beautiful thingy

Nine months ago in an interview with Vanguard’s Damilola Sholola, Alex gave a few glimpses into how her career is developing.
Her lesbian role in College Girls, shot in Ghana, skyrocketed her to fame, and was so believable that many people still wrongly think the actress is gay. During the filming of her sensual lesbian scenes, everyone on set was impressed by her acting.
