Why I admire Rita Dominic-Tamara Eteimo- actress, movie producer

Life is what you make of it Tamara Eteimo, actress, movie producer

 Tamara Eteimo, from Bayelsa state grew up in Port Harcourt, studied Theater Arts at the University of Port Harcourt. This screen diva who  started acting  in 2011 after winning The Next Movie Star  Reality TV Show unveiled her lifestyle and dress sense.

Why I chose to act

Well, I chose acting every thing else because it is what I love, it is what I’m really good at, I have a strong passion for it. I mean I went to school to study Theater Arts, so what would you expect? Its my life, acting is my life and that’s why I chose it, studied it and I would do it till I grow grey hair (giggled).

Movie that  shot me to the limelight

Well I would say Desperate House girl kind of worked magic for me (giggled). You know it was very interesting with Ini Edo and Mary Lazarus and the story line was amazing. That really did good on my career and shot me a step higher.

Most scandalous story written about me

There hadn’t been any and I hope to God there  isn’t any. I’m not aware of anyone so far.

What I would have been aside from acting

If I wasn’t acting I would have been an Air Hostess (smiled). I love traveling, so it would give me an avenue to see the world at my own pace.

Movies I have starred in

 I have starred in Someone Down The Line, Mrs Somebody, Oyoma, Unblissful, Desperate House Girls, Finding Mercy and a couple of other movies on Africa Magic such as Green Eyed, Duty Experience, Out Of The Ghetto which was a very cool one and lot more. I mean a lot of other productions.

Most challenging

Well, I wouldn’t say any of them particularly was most challenging but I would say that every job comes with its own challenge, in its own style and form. And you can never predict what kind of challenge it is but  the truth is that you have to be able to adapt to whatever situation you find yourself in. And that’s what I have been doing over the years and I hope to improve on that as an actor, as a personality and as a brand.

Craziest thing a male fan has done to me

What is the craziest thing a male fan would do to a woman if not to ask for her contact and try to get as close to her as possible? Which doesn’t usually work. I don’t know where they get that idea but hey you can never tell, anything can happen (giggled). That’s the craziest thing really.

Heartbreak

Well I think matters of the heart are things that one can’t really talk about. So, I wouldn’t want to discuss that. But as they say time heals all wounds. That’s basically it.

Coping with stardom

This is a really strange question. If your kind of personality is such that it’s free with everyone then why would it get to your head? Of course they always say fame comes with it’s own spirit but I hope I don’t get over taken by that spirit as a person. I would still try and be myself the nice way I can, the best way I can. I may not be easily accessible which is normal, we all know that. But in every way, I would try to respond to as many friend requests on social media as possible.  That is the easiest way to communicate with your fans and people admire your work. And I would try and do that as much as possible. And not slam any other actor to the face because they are up coming or they want an opportunity like I got my own opportunities. So, it’s give and take. You give good, you get good.

Life philosophy

Well, I wouldn’t say life is not a bed of roses, its not also a bed of thorns. I would say life is what you make of it. So, if you want it to be a bed of roses, then you have to work to make it a bed of roses and not to be a bed of thorns and I think that it is, yes!

Nigerian fashionistas I  admire

There are  lots of them I must say but I admire Rita Dominic not just for the fact that she is a good actress but because she is always picture-ready. And that is what every woman should try and achieve be you an actress, a super star, a celebrity, always be picture-ready just like Rita.

Where  so many ladies are getting it wrong in the fashion world

Where I think so many ladies are getting it wrong in the fashion world is the fact that you try to be somebody else other than yourself especially in what they wear. Not everything you see fits you. It might look good on one person but that does not mean it would look good on you. So, find your own niche. So, for every lady, if you want to look good, look good, but look good for you not for the other person because that is the only way you would be confident and define your own style.

How I have  given  back to society

Well, giving back to society is a gradual process. I mean, I have been on this for four years which does limit my abilities to give out but for now foundation and all that is still in the works. Basically it’s just producing my movies and also giving opportunities for other actors to come and work and get paid for what they do and get paid well too. Because it is also important, it is also a form of job availability for those that have anything to do and are good at what they do. So, yes, in my own little way, its to produce more movies and create for other actors more jobs. And help people that have passion in acting as well.

My style

My style is simple, chic but  definitely with a sprinkle of star powder  because that is who I intend to be, that is what I intend to make of myself in the nearest future.

 Lesson life has  taught me

Life has taught me to appreciate every moment it gives, every time spent or not spent well is wasted and gone. So, I appreciate life, I enjoy every little moment I have with myself and my family because I only have one strong family that would always be with me till the end.

What thrills me most about being a celebrity

Because of the amazing treatment I get. Hmm, apart from the fact that yes  I get to meet different people at different times and also I get to travel a lot and see different places which causes me to go to different sets during the cause of my job. So, it’s something I love doing. I could fufill my passion and my love for traveling, my passion for acting and the fact that I also get to look good at all times especially when stepping out for events and red carpet. The glitz and glamour just get to me, trust me. Any celebrity gets to  such get to them a lot and I love the feeling it brings with it.
