Ghanaian actress, writer and producer, Lydia Forson has revealed that she has always wanted to be a part of the movie, Sister Act.
On the special edition of the Late Nite Celebrity Show with guest presenter, Sister Derby, she put forth that if there is ever a remake of Whoopi Goldberg’s movie ‘Sister Act’, she would love to play Whoopi’s part. Replying to Sister Derby’s question on what character she hasn’t played and would like to play in future, she replied, ‘’The list is endless. I can’t say character but there is a movie that I have always wanted to be a part of if they ever did a remake and that is Sister Act.’’
She professed that she fell in love with Whoopi Goldberg when she saw the movie and even posted a tweet sometime back that she will love to play Whoopi’s part if there is ever a remake. She added that she believes for every actor, there is a movie they watch and say ‘this is what I want to do’, and for her, that movie is Sister Act.
Miss Forson furthered that she can even play Whoopi’s role in ‘The Color Purple’ and she believes it can happen because she has always convinced herself that everything is possible. ‘’I have always lived my life like everything I want is possible. Anytime someone says no to me, I always tell myself that it is another person to prove wrong so I don’t walk around feeling like it is never going to happen’’, she remarked.
