Sylvia replied when asked if she could act nude in movies said: I do not have a problem with nudity in movies. I am an actress. And my body is my tool. If I have to act nude in a movie, it will depend on how good the script is, how favourable it is to me as an actress, the kind of movie and most importantly, the director. He has to be a director I trust. He has to be someone who produces without demeaning my acts. Lupita Nyong’o was nude in the movie, ‘12 years as a slave,’ and she is an Oscar nominee now. It’s part of the job. Sex sells and it happens every minute in Hollywood. In Africa, we want to be Africans and non-Africans at the same time. It’s something we knew before we signed up as actors.
