Martha Ankomah speaks about "bad girl" roles
In an interview on Adom TV's Badwam Ahosepe, Martha Ankomah expressed her interest in "bad girl" movie roles.
She explained that she would only accept such roles if the movie's story positively impacted the audience.
She said:
"I still play bad girl roles in movies, but I always say that it depends on the storyline."
Martha Ankomah compared "bad girl" roles and Judas' role in the movies about Jesus Christ, stating that Judas was influential in the story despite being the villain.
"If you have ever watched Jesus films, you will realize that everyone hates Judas. We believed Jesus' story because of what Judas did to him. Judas played an important role in our acceptance of Jesus' story. For me, it is about the storyline. If the story is going to have a positive impact and I have to play the bad girl just to change someone's life to become better, I will do that."
The actress also added that fans' criticisms would not faze her if she accepted to play such roles in movies. She said she would be more interested in the storyline's impact since acting gives her the income to care for herself.
