SHOCKING! Mercy Johnson Reveals Why She Will Never Play Romantic Roles Again
Veteran Nollywood actress, Mercy Johnson has not been active in the Nigerian movie industry for some years now.
While speaking at a recent interview, she answered a lot of questions including her preferred movie roles. When asked if she was open to playing roles that require her to get romantic with an 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 any way 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 and 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.’
