I Am More Of A Family Person Than Public Figure. - Actress Lukie Lawson
How did acting all start for you, and when did you decide to take it professional ?
Acting started for me in 2006.. But before that I came in 2003 to produce a script that I thoought was best then. A family friend, Uncle Emmanuel Amah introduced me to Frank Rajah. We went to Nigeria to shoot the movie. When we got there I wanted Ramsey Noah, Rita Dominic, Jim Ike, and Emeka Ike to feature in the movie. I wanted the creme De la creme. I swear I was just way over my head . Wow that was 13yrs ago, am getting old. Well in 2005 I came back tryimg to produce again with my good friend of mine who also helped me a lot in the industry, Van Vicker. We came out with something really really good called 'babe Town' and also did my first movie Mommy's Daughter, afterwards, Royal Battle. In Less than a year in business I was pregnant with my son Jayden and took some time off to start a family, Jayden just turn 8 the other day. So proud of him. I started taking acting as profession when the movie "Royal Battle" was released. I saw how well I did for a first timer. But I was pregnant then.
Tell us about your walk into limelight. Your strives, challenges, and how you were able to sustain, and attain success.
My challenges was always timing and family. I think those were my biggest. The others comes with the job. My strives have always been to be a better person for my kids, raise them well. Being a role model to them. When it comes to my profession to make whatever character am playing really believable that you won't see Luckie Lawso Gyan. For me I don't think am in the limelight yet but very very very soon I will be.
Of all the movies you have produced, and featured in, which would you say was most tasking?
All the movies I have been or in, or have produced. I will pick the second movie I produce.. "Family strangers" the making and the proces of it was crazy. Turned my house into a movie warehouse. Lol my brother from another mother Pascal Amanfo was like, "we can do it and we actually did it. My crew Lebey and Bismarkthejoke was something else on the set, I mean everyone did awesomely.
Then comes the last job i did with director Leila djansi. I think that character hit me deep. I had to look for her in me, my mom and many African mothers I had the pleasure of knowing. And it took me some time to turn the character off after we finish shooting
Share with us some of the great achievements acting has brought you.
Acting have really paved ways for me in business. But bigger things and bigger businesses opportunities are coming this year in God's name.
What is being a mom, and a public figure like, how do you cope with the pressure from both sides?
I love being a mom it's not easy still a learning process, everyday something new is learnt. They melt my heart.They also make me lose my head when something is wrong with them. Am more of a family person than the public figure. Don't you think? Am just like an everyday working mother. You balance your home and work. I just take it one day at a time with my husband's help.
What's the craziest thing a male fan has ever done to you, and how do you cope with the desperate male fans?
Oh one time I posted a picture on facebook and a male fan comments "You have a nice Pu**y" and he playing with himself just looking at it. It was soon disgusting. I deleted the comment, and block him. Then one that scared the heart out of me was a young man from Nigeria, who for years was telling me how he loves me and he thinls am his wife that got away. So for everything to go well in his life, he needs to find me. I use to get like 10 messages from him on Facebook. He says he was gonna kill himself if I don't tell him I love him. Some real crazy things he would send. Every time I come online he inbox me. The last message I got from him before I blocked him was, he said he was coming to Ghana to take me to Nigeria. I went on his page and he had only 2 pictures some old picture of him doing some woman's hair. I guess he was a hair dresser. I told him I know his account is fake and am giving all his mails and videos to the police and put him on the news if he doesn't leave me alone. Then I blocked and delete him.
What's the worst rumour you have heard about yourself?
The worst rumor I heard was that I was dead. That news really went viral on facebook..
Having escaped Rape three times, does that in anyway still lives you stigmatized?

If given a fortune, what would you spend it on?
That's easy. First my I'd invest in my kids education. Then Build one of the biggest charity home to educate the street kids, and I would invest the rest in my business 🙈🙈🙈👍👍
What's your greatest fear?
My greatest fear is at the end of the Day when The Creator call on me would it be a smiling face or a sad face.. Have I done what I was put on this earth for. Cuz we are all here for something
If you were a fancy car, which would you be and why?
If I was a car, I don't know much about cars but my husband right here said I will be Bugatti Veyro lol. I had to go google and check the car out.
The toughest challenges Ghana industry is facing is money that's it.. To get the best you need people, government corporate bodies to invest.. We already have the talents here, we just need to be financed.
Interesting interview ...I enjoyed the movie she has featured so far.
