Lydia Forson Shoots New Movie In Liberia

Popular Ghanaian actress Lydia Forson has touched down in Liberia, where she is shooting her next movie.

She left Ghana on Saturday morning to join a host of other poplar actors from selected African countries on her new project. It is her first time working in Liberia and she will be there for weeks and is expected to touch base with her fans there.

It was difficult reaching her yesterday to give a little info about the project in Liberia. NEWS-ONE sources were able to mention other stars that are part of the project.

They include Nollywood’s Desmond Elliot; Ivie Okujaye, AMAA 2012 Promising Actor; Bobby Obodo, a Canadian-based Nigerian, Morris K. Sesay from Sierra Leon and some Liberian actors.

Lydia is one remarkable actress to have come out of Ghana, as she has passion for what she does on the screens. Since last year, she has been traveling out of Ghana for different projects. This year, she was at the African Movie Academy Awards as a special guest.

Lydia recently celebrated her mother’s 60th birthday. Prior to that, her fourth appearance at the prestigious African Movie Academy Awards in Nigeria was the subject of discussion.

The bubbly actress presented an award for Best Young/Upcoming Actor category to Nigeria’s Ivie Okujaye who won for her role in the movie ‘Alero’s Symphony’. Lydia raised the flag of Ghana high on stage that night.

Her first AMAA appearance was in 2009 when she was nominated for Promising Actress of the Year. In 2010, she went as a nominee and fortunately returned to Ghana as a co-winner of Best Actress In Leading Role for her performance in ‘Perfect Picture’ by Sparrow Production.
