As vulnerable as she looks, she is everything but a ‘damsel in distress’ as our readers will soon find out in this revealing chat. Often touted as one of the most beautiful girls in Nollywood, Queeneth talks about her journey into showbiz, p*rnography in Nollywood and a whole lot of other issues..
How did you come about the name ‘Queeneth Hilbert’?
Queeneth Hilbert is my name. Mine is Queeneth while my surname is Hilbert. I am half Nigerian, half Lebanese.Is that why you display the Lebanese flag on your Blackberry status?
Well, I have many Lebanese friends and many of them have the Lebanese flag displayed on their Blackberry phones. I just thought it’s cool so I use it too
Why not the Nigerian flag?
I can use any one I want to use. It has no special meaning to me. (laughing) should I change it?But there is a story that you are not as close to your dad as you are to your mum. Why is that?
I am closer to my mum because I grew up with while it took a while to know my dad but that does not mean I have anything against my dad. Our relationship is father-daughter relationship.
You started with modelling, what informed your decision to go into modelling?
When I was small, many of my friends and cousins were going into modelling and that to some extent affected me. Besides, many of them thought I should go into it too because by age 15 I was already very tall and had a good slim figure for it. So I decided to give it a try.Why did you go into acting instead of modelling?
Back then I had a lot of modelling proposals. It started when I had a photo shoot. From the photo shoot a lot of agents saw what I could do and the offers started pouring in. Even when I was just 15 at the time.Why so early, didn’t it affect your education?
Not really. I started early because I had to make ends meet. I am a kind of person who doesn’t like to be idle. Besides, I love being independent and being able to take care of myself.Weren’t your parents doing that?
Yes, they had what it takes to take care of me but I just don’t like bothering anyone for anything, even my parents.As a beautiful woman, what has your beauty cost you?
I’m a funny person and I don’t see myself like that. When I wake up in the morning, I pray, take my birth, dress up and off to work. The way people talk about Queeneth being beautiful doesn’t even occur to me. I don’t see myself as such.So, when did you realise you are a very beautiful woman?
I think that should be all my life because people never stopped telling me I am beautiful.Has anyone ever gone beyond just appreciating your beauty or making passes at you?
Yeah, sometimes.Can you share an experience?
There was this guy I met while boarding a flight from Abuja to Lagos. I was coming to shoot a film. The guy was sitting next to me in the plane and he got funny with me. He was so arrogant, rude and uncouth. And if there is anything I really hate it is arrogant guys. Even when I like a guy, I am not the type who goes about showing it because I like to hide my feelings.Even when we landed in Lagos, and the company’s car came to pick me, the guy was still disturbing me. Funny enough, when I got to the company for the shoot I found out’’ that the guy owns the company. He was like: this girl again? What are you doing in my company? But I told him my mind. He later gave me the contract though but I just can’t stand arrogant people.
This beachy bleachy..Half lebanese my big fat arse!
