The Interview was translated into text by SDK Blog for your reading pleasure...
My name is Regina Daniels. I'm an actress, a student and a businesswoman. Yeah, I'm a woman.
Where are you from?
I was born in Lagos but I was brought up in Delta State. I'm from Delta State, Ogwashiku precisely.
Educational background?
I'm currently studying Mass Communication because of my passion for acting and the entertainment industry at large.
How did you get into Nollywood?
I started acting at a very tender age. I started acting at the age of Six, through the help of my mother and support of my family and my mother's guidance. She went all way out to make sure I was in the limelight.
Any challenge early in your career?
I remember when I was in a movie set and they said Oh Regina you have to cry in this scene. And I couldn't cry because I wasn't perfect in acting. The producer called my mother... And was like, Hello Rita come and take your daughter away from this set. She doesn't know how to act film. She can't cry. She can't deliver her lines. She can't do this.
My mother was crying. She called me and was like, "Mama please, please you can do it. Think of everything that has happened to us. You know where you are going to. Mama just try. You can. And I started crying. So then I filmed. Many producers would abuse me and my mother would take the blame just so that she can see me get there.
How were you able to build your brand?
I have always dreamed to become a celebrity. To be someone the world will appreciate and recognize. So I would always put in so much effort. I will work day and night, under the rain, sun to make sure that I get there.
Where do you see Nollywood in the next Five Years?
I believe I'm part of a future of Nollywood. I see Nollywood going to a greater height. And I believe I will be part and parcel of that process.
Where do you see yourself in the next five years?
I want to feature in movies that will be nominated for OSCARS alongside my role model, Angelina Jolie.
Why Angelina Jolie?
I LOVE HER SO MUCH. I mean her determination, her acting skills. She's smart and intelligent. Above all, she's sexy.
How did you bag your latest endorsement?
I'm sure you guys must have heard my latest endorsement with house of l*********
I casually walked into Jabi Lekki mall for my make up session. And I met two staff and they were like oh Regina, plsss can you come and shop with us. I said Okay. So I went. All the staff were so friendly, lively and accommodating. I bought some few things. And they were like, we will like to have you as our brand ambassador.
Hobbies?
Let me tell few things you don't know about me and I know you have been dying to know them.
I love playing lawn tennis. I could actually beat Serena Williams. I also love swimming. 'm like a fish in the water. I swim very fast, smoothly and.... sexy. Lol. I recently started my piano lessons because of my love for music. Wanting to know more. You know, piano. Piano is sexy for girls, so mature. I have actually loved to play a piano.
Do you even know how to cook?
Yea, I actually love cooking. I know some people will say that's not true. Can this girl cook. See how she looks. But that's not true. Because I know how to cook. Especially traditional meals, soups, okro soup, egusi, ogbono. My favourite is ogbono soup. So I cook perfectly well. Trust me. Lol
Why are you so drawn to children?
I grew up too fast. I didn't have the have the opportunity all the times to explore like other kids would. I never had friends. There was no one to mingle with. I always found myself in the midst of adults trying to read scripts, kept on reading scripts, or reading my books and trying to make ends meet. I have been an adult since childhood. So that's why I love kids. That's why I am passionate about children. That's why I love being around them, to have that feeling of being a child. The smile I see on their faces makes me happy. To make sure that they are fine. You know this feeling of having children around you gives you this feeling that you can't explain. Because kids on their own, they have this happiness they bring to you. A feeling of joy.

Don't hold back the rest Regina
ReplyDeleteShe doesn't sound smart to me,she feels she is soo important now so she is trying to put u all on suspense, what more is there to know about you other than you are married to Ned? and pls what is it about ur looks that would make people think you can't cook? Regina, after all the noise and show off on social media when u are alone in Neds big world how do you really feel? What do u and Ned even talk about, scooters? Makeup? Or how u want to pepper them on IG? I ain't buying the facade
ReplyDeleteYou also don't sound smart. Allow her give her gist the way she wants. You'll still be there saying she's not sounding smart and she'll be making her cash.
DeleteVery narcissistic.
DeletePiano is sexy for girls. What a dumb statement.
ReplyDeleteThis one off me..like wahhh.😄😄😆😒
DeleteSorry, its sexy for boys
DeleteShe’s just trying to sell. What’s all this waiting for exclusive details. Abeg I’ll read it on SDK if at all she posts!! 🙄🙄🙄
ReplyDeleteAnd I can tell she’s groomed by her mother. Imagine saying cry cry cry and reminding her of what you’ve been through just do a scene can be done lol. Oh well Regina you go soon understand take care ooooo because people dey wait!!!!! Imagine you’ll be 36 Ned 82, there’s a lot of life to be lived after 40 ooooo
How old is Oga Ned again?
DeleteShe can beat Serena Williams in lawn Tennis.
ReplyDeleteSerena with 23 grand slam titles.
Shift let me faint
As an avid tennis fan, that's the line that pissed me off the most. Mscheeew
Deleteshe is so beautiful
ReplyDeleteYou need eye drops..
DeleteI see a greedy chubby girl who isn’t smart trying to feel important coz she is fucking a wrinkled ugly self acclaimed millionaire. I was a virgin at your age despite everything my mom went through to raise nine of us. She would never allow men or boys near us .even when I had the opportunity of dating a guy who came from America to marry me my mother refused because she thought I was too young and needed to concentrate on my education.. now 40 and a doctor living in uk I have no regrets .i married my doctor age group colleague with three adorable children. So please poverty isn’t allowed to define you.
ReplyDeleteYou are very greedy and I pray greediness no kill you. Imagine being the 7th wife to a man old enough to be your grandfather.how do u open ur legs to open. Your mother is not a good mother. By the time your are twenty the man would have married other women after u and abandon you .you will be sad and lonely
Everyone has their own journey in life, You and Regina are two different beings,with different background. Mama Regina is different from mama anon. Just because you married your age mate is not a garantee that you will not be sad and lonely later in life when he decided to trade you for a younger side chick. Live and let live.
DeleteIt had to be about you and your doctor and UK. Abeg ask SDK to interview you so can gist us, but for now this is Regina's space
DeleteAnonymous 15:21 continue with your self deceit, madam I'm a Dr bla bla. who knows you with all your life achievements. Liar oshi. Look at you beefing your grand daughter agemate. Must everyone tow your line and life, I thought we are wired differently. I hate people like you whose sole mission is to put others down. What makes you think you are better than this young girl. Please be whatever you are in peace and shift to one corner. No one cares if you are carrying all the accolades on your head. Live and let live. drink water and mind your business.
Deleteaunty anon, don't kill o. Everytime Reginas gist comes up you start convulsing up and down the comment section. What is the matter? who do you this thing? Ned hold your pant? who cares if you were a virgin?
DeleteAs much as a lot of people are not in support, you don't have to kill yourself about it, haba mana.
All i can see here sexy sexy nothing like been smart
ReplyDeleteI feel so sorry for this child. She might be over 18 but she's a child that her mother has been manipulating for long. That line about how she couldn't cry and her mom told her to do it for them, remember what they've been through - putting pressure on the girl from a young age to lift her family from poverty is demonic. Don't get me wrong, everyone can cry and some are more convincing than others, some have ready-made tap in their eyes, some need a bit more convincing. But if this is what Rita did to put her child where she is, it is sick and wrong. I think this is part of what mfm people will say is an unholy soultie with a parent.
ReplyDelete15:41. Ur head dey dia...
DeleteOk she should've just let her lose the role just like that? Uts not everyone that can easily cry so she needed something to make her cry... no be MJ that just blinks and cry just like that
DeleteAs a mother, if you can go extra for your child and its coming out good or bad, its a plus for her. She is a beautiful girl and i am happy her mum did a good job.
ReplyDelete17:25 she is making cash and still had to marry her ancestors? What a shame on you and her, gluttony!
ReplyDeleteWhat else is going to be on her exclusive story but that she married ned because she loves him, sweetheart we don't expect you to say otherwise,what else is news asides Regina's marriage to Ned? I never even knew her or her husband until I heard some teenage Nollywood actress married her ancestors or maybe it's because I don't watch Naija movies
ReplyDeleteWhat is soo smart about her response here pls? All I gather from this interview is a child whose mum has blackmailed,brainwashed and led astray. Shout out to the real mum's out there who after their sufferings and sacrifice still nudged their children in the right direction even when they are faced with tough times.strange child who picks hobbies that makes her look sexy and somebody is there saying because she's making money out of it she is smart, this our generation is beginning to look and sound like a joke
ReplyDeleteThe only thing that can make an exclusive news that matters at this point is if she says Ned is her dad, what else going to be Soo important that he saved u and ur family from poverty? Ermmm I think we been known that or he is not sleeping with you until you turn 22? Errmmm we Know that's a big fat lie
ReplyDeleteMake Ned quick give her Belle, make we hear word. Then she go become used newspaper

ReplyDeleteyimu
Enter your comment...This little girl is lost,now Regina you could make your education a priority and you could shine better than the way you have dommed your entire life,well Its a great achievement only to your mother who is a now a beneficiary of the ancestor who just cheated the world of a weird traditional inciation to woman wood which you girl dont exactly know its meaning,the day you will come to your senses you will need to be admitted to hospital for the shock of what you gave engaged yourself with,but all in all nah happy life with your grandpa ooooh💃💃
ReplyDeleteSmiles....
ReplyDeleteIssokay
Reading this, I couldn't help but remember Michael Jackson - no childhood, loving kids, growing up in the public eye, parental expectations, etc. Hope it turns out better for you Regina, I wish you well.
