Derenle gets injured on set

They
say that true artists suffer for their craft, but perhaps no artist has
suffered like myself on this hustle of ours! The moment I got the
script titled #PepperSoup from Grace Oboba Edwin-Okon, with me as the lead character, I just wanted to jump onboard! .
And
yes, I jumped on in my gangsta mode! Whilst shooting the first scene, I
was supposed to pass out but in a bid to make it convincing, I fell on
my face and accidentally split my eye brow area open! I bled like
crazy!!! REAL BLOOD!!!
All
in a bid to make my acting more convincing, I was supposed to drop into
a faint in the very first scene of the movie "PEPPER SOUP" but I guess I
miscalculated and fell hard on a metallic object on the floor that
pierced my face. .
I
kinda blacked out for a few seconds and felt something warm running
down my face...Truth is, a blood vessel just a lil above my right eye
(an inch away from my eyebrow bone) was burst open and it was hard to
control the bleeding!
The
production team was stunned and scared at the same time. They almost
called off the production but I refused! The producer wanted to strike
set and cancel shoot but I refused! Say what?
First
rule: the show must go on! And I was kinda lucky we were shooting in a
hospital so there were nurses to dress the wound. Had to add some extra
extra extensions to my hair to hide the plaster.
And
I got back on set like nothing happened! Im in a lot of pain but
hey.... THE SHOW MUST GO ON! And I finished this job with all the grace,
strength, resilience and amazing character interpretation that I could
muster!"
