It’s like something out of a film – a boy from east London grows up to become a famous actor and meets royalty.

Chiwetel Ejiofor receives his medal from Prince William (Picture: Yui Mok/PA)

But for Chiwetel Ejiofor, who grew up in Forest Gate, that’s reality.
The 38-year-old was made a CBE in the Queen’s Birthday Honours for his services to the arts.
Prince William presented him with his medal yesterday at Buckingham Palace.
Although he was made an OBE in the 2008 Queen’s Birthday Honours, Chiwetel’s status as an actor was elevated when he played Solomon Northup in 2013 film 12 Years A Slave, winning a BAFTA for his performance.

ReplyDeleteIf our genny can't find a single script for almost 5 yrs now, nah person like this go find..yeye nollywood,person go dey act village scene wear brazilian hair and hills dey waka up and down rubbish.....
ReplyDeleteGenny abi na Geneh lambasted Nollywood where she rose from grass. So who want give am role??? She thought after the CNN appearance, she will be picked up by Hollywood, but nah. Even the African American actors & actresses are sweating their blood out to get lucrative roles. If not of the likes of Tyler Perry & Shonda Rimes(last name may not be spelt right) who hv tried to make blacks significant in movie industry. Hmmm.
DeleteGenny is just being proud, don't mind her. She said she gets SCRIPTS everyday but it's the one that she feels is worth it that she will take. Yimu, Script everyday kor, script everyday ni. So none has been worth it since? When there're other better actresses. She thinks the role she played inin half of a yellow sun is one correct role ba? Just cos the likes of Chiwetel were there. Pride is not a good thing though there's a difference between pride and knowing exactly what you want. Abeg jare.
DeleteHonestly village scene with brazilian hair and high heels shoe ,all they do in nollywood this days is to come show case their new car hand bag and shoes ,like they have more money than hollywood stars that will always dress simple in movies ,i still love my yoruba movies they make sense die
DeleteIf Genny can't find a script? The way u guys reason at times is so annoying. So u want Genny to star in all this our rubbish asaba movies? Hian!!! There is no script in Naija worth it abeg. Except Emem Isong, Desmond, Uche and Omoni's script and they av their cliques. Understood?
DeleteYoruba movies does it well for me ooh
DeleteThat is why i get tire of watching nollywood movies. Lolololol.
DeleteTwo hot looking men. see correct postures! Congrats Chiwetel. Hard work and perseverance pays
