Nollywood actress, Mercy
Johnson-Okojie has revealed that she can never take up a romantic role in
movies anymore.
Recently during a GoldMynetv
interview with Mercy Johnson-Okojie on
her new movie with “The Legend Of Inikpi.”
Johnson-Okojie said age is
telling on her and that it was better to leave such romantic roles to younger
girls in movies.
When asked: “Are you open
to playing roles that require getting Romantic with another actor on set?”
She replied: “Age is
telling on me, I just calculated that if I had to do that, what will the
younger girls do? When you go past a certain level, you try to go above that
level to do better.
“You don’t need people to
tell you what is right or wrong. For me, I just felt I have gone past that
level, I am answerable to many people, my husband, my kids; my daughter’s
getting older and she gets hold of my phone, she begins to google such.
“Kids are very inquisitive
and I don’t want them to question me in anyway or have something in their mind.
I don’t think I want to do that.
“My sense of maturing and
judgment is better now and I now know better; the errors I have made in the
past are things that I would not do now, some of the choices I have made in the
past are things I would not do now.”
She also spoke of her
challenges of combining the home front with her career.
According to her, “It is
challenging, it is not easy for anyone, what has always worked for me is
putting everything on a scale of preference, God first, family, then work. God
has to be settled and settle the kids and my husband. My home front has to be
stable before I go anywhere, if not, nowhere.”
