Mitchell Ozakpolor, fondly called Mimi is indeed busty and she
feels good about it. She started acting about a decade ago. Mimi
resigned from her banking job to pursue her dream in Nollywood. She said
she never regretted leaving the banking world for acting. “Acting is my
passion; I love it so much,” she said. In this interview with Adaeze Amos, she speaks about her lifestyle and the qualities of her ideal man.
What excites you more as an actress?
Everything about acting makes me happy. It is a talent that God gave
to me. Do you know even when I’m telling stories with my friends, they
would warn me to stop acting that there is no camera around. This means
that when I’m real, they think I’m acting. But I usually tell them I’m
not acting, it’s me for real. Acting excites me because it is a dream
come through.
What did you study?
I studied Banking at Auchi Polytechnic, Delta State. When I graduated, I started working in the bank. Before I resigned into the acting world, the last bank I worked in was Bank PHB.
What movie brought you to the limelight?
You know the truth is that every movie I had done contributed to
bringing me out. My first movie titled ‘Extreme Measure’ really did it
for me. In that movie, I was Jim Iyke’s girlfriend and the roles were
perfect. He was actually living with me; he didn’t have a house.
Somehow, he messed up with me and I packed out his things and took him
to his office before his boss. It was a beautiful story line and I loved
it. Whether it is one role movie or lead job I had done, I had always
stood out. Maybe it is my personality that does that for me, I wouldn’t
know. But one thing I know is that I actually wear my character. I go
into whatever character I’m supposed to interpret when I
start acting.
Anytime I behold my script, I fall in love with it. I have a script
with me right now; I’m shooting tomorrow and the script had been given
to me for a week now. Often, I choose to remain indoors to read my
script. It has to do with passion and I love what I’m doing. After
putting in much time in it, you don’t expect me not to shine when I get
on TV. I would say that all my jobs brought me to the limelight. But the highest of all is the movie titled ‘Crossroads’.
What part of your body is your best asset?
I detest being asked this question because everyone already knows my
best asset. Even if I mention something else, they would know I’m just
being economical with the truth because it is obvious. I know I’m very
busty, it is supposed to be my best asset. One good thing about me is
that I really don’t flaunt my boobs. I just wear dresses that I like and
the boobs flaunt, whether the neckline of my dresses are showing my
cleavage or not. But my cleavage is just obvious because my boobs are
massive. I think my boobs are the biggest in Nollywood.
Don’t you think Corsy Orjiakor has the that record in Nollywood?
No, but people think she is. She is not. If I pack up my boobs the
way she packs hers, to be frank people won’t walk on the street, believe
me. I try to pack mine in such a way that it won’t be obvious and so
that some guys won’t jump on me and start begging me to kiss them.
Have you experienced that before, a guy walking up to you and begging you to hug him?
Yes, they have been doing that to me. Some would beg me to just give
them a hug. But I don’t see that as an embarrassment because I love my
boobs and they make all my dresses suit me. When guys react that way, I
don’t blame them because they love what they see. I know I have the hip
and height to carry my boobs. At times when I walk in the street of
Yaba, Lagos in particular, most of the guys there would be shouting
‘Jesus Christ all these boobs for you alone? Are these all yours?’ They
would be expecting me to answer them. I do answer them anyway. And they
would hail me and say ‘yes mama I love that’. I try to avoid bus stops
because when guys see me, they always scream wow! And I do respond too
wow! That is just my life. If I start feeling bad about people’s
reactions over my boobs, it would not help matters. Many companies have
approached me for adverts based on my boobs. I know it feels good to
have big boobs. It gives you a lot of jobs
How do ladies react?
Some feel it is a curse while others wish to have as massive a breast
as mine. I don’t blame any lady who doesn’t know that huge boobs are
supposed to be good or make you feel good. It is not their fault because
they don’t have them. The truth is that big boobs are good, they are a
blessing. I don’t get angry or embarrassed with people’s reactions to my
boobs. I do tell myself that if I were a guy and I am
confronted with massive boobs, I would also have reacted the way they
are reacting to me. This means that I understand why some guys would
walk up to me, begging me to hug them 10 times. I don’t hug them, I just
smile. I don’t, even my male friends, with my chest touching theirs. I
give them side hugging because most of them don’t have a genuine reason
for hugging me.
Don’t people mistake you for Cossy Orjiakor?
Yes, many times they think I’m Cossy. I don’t know her one-on-one but
I respect her for her boldness and daring nature because I’m not that
daring. The reason is because we are Africans; no matter how crazy you
want to be, you have to remember where you are coming from. If I should
meet her now, I know I don’t have any right to give her advice but I
would only ask her why she loves to flaunt her boobs. Maybe there is
something I need to know that I don’t know. That has made her so popular
that when I go out and some people ask, is that not Cossy Orjiakor?
Some people don’t like her, while others do. I tell you, she has a lot
of fans because some people mistake me for her. They would be saying
that is her now, na that yeye girl wey no get shame. Then I would tell
them no I’m not Cossy, I’m Mimi. I don’t hate her for that. I like her
because she is bold and pretty too. Remember, it’s not easy to be busty.
Let her enjoy herself jare.
Why do you say it’s not easy to be busty?
It’s because not everybody has it. I have some friends, in fact, a
lot of people that are begging and praying to God everyday for bigger
boobs. Mine is natural although when I drink Coca-Cola often, it
increases my boobs. If I drink it constantly, I would have to change my
bra size
because it makes my boobs get bigger. A lot of my friends did that,
they drank and drank but it didn’t work for them. I tell you, it’s not
easy to be busty.
Where is your tattoo?
I’m not a tattoo fan. Some ladies would put tattoo on their boobs but
I don’t want to because mine is big enough to be noticed. A friend said
it is bad enough that it is mighty, why do you now want to make it more
obvious?
Did Jim Iyke touch you there during the romance movie with him?
Before we started shooting, I pleaded with him not to touch my boobs.
He is my friend and we already had a rapport before that movie. He said
he must touch it, that it was a good opportunity to do so. I
knew
what he could do. I started begging him and he promised he won’t do it.
When we started the role, he just kissed me but he didn’t touch my
boobs. He kept to his promises.
Who else would you like to be paired with in romance roles?
For guys, I love Jim Iyke, Ramsey Noah; I have never done any job
with Desmond Eliot but I think he is going to be fantastic. I like Mike
Ezuruonye. I have done something with Yemi Black; he was the bomb. Oh my
God, I would like to do something with him again. The one I did with
him wasn’t just romance, it was sexy. He is cool; I mean that guy is
perfect. His character can bring your character alive. I also like RMD,
he is a big boy. I would like to do something with him. Most of our guys
are good.
Who among these guys have you actually dated?
Right now I don’t have any boyfriend. I wouldn’t want to talk about
this please. I have a lot of things that have really engaged me. I’m
trying to go into perfumery, trying to become a designer of my own. But
that does not mean that if I find someone I want to date, why not? I
mean I would want to settle down someday, have kids but for now, I have
not just walked into the guy. I have men in my life but nothing serious
for now. Actually, I would like to keep my love life private.
Can you define your style?
I have a mind of my own. I like to create my own thing. I have always
loved to stand out. Maybe because I want to be better and I don’t copy
sheepishly. My style is unique, simple and sexy.
What are the qualities of your ideal man?
He has to be very tall and masculine. It’s so unfortunate most
Nigerian men are losing it these days. They eat too much of pounded yam
and forget to go to the gym. I like them light in complexion but if he
is dark he must be extremely handsome. That is the only way that colour
works for me. I like clean guys. I mean I like a guy when he is bending
to pick up something, I see his boxers and it is not these regular
stripy ones. Clean, white boxer and white singlet turn me on. I like
white singlet on him. Let him be generally clean in whatever he is
wearing, from head to the toe. I would like to come to your apartment
and see that you are clean and your car is clean. If I come close to
you, be sure to smell good. I love perfumes. Now I’m wearing Kim
Kadashan Gold. A guy has to smell good. That is the only way I’m going
to give you a hug if I actually want to. I like guys who are confident,
cool, okay and clean.
