Nollywood
actor Yul Edochie, who happens to be the son of veteran actor Pete Edochie has
disclosed why he followed in his fathers footstep to get married at the young
age of 22! He spoke with a correspondent from SunNews Online over the weekend,
where he also talked about how he has kept his 10yr marriage going. Read
excerpts below;
*Getting
married at age 22 is quite young. Were you forced? Whose idea was it? And how
did you meet your wife?
>The idea
came from my mother. Immediately I got into school, I met my future wife and
we became friends and my mother liked her a lot. So when I finished school, my
mother asked me, 'assuming you were to get married now, would you get married
to her?' And I said 'yes.' Mum asked again and I repeated the same thing so she
said that if I'm really ready, we could do it now. She told me to ask her if
she wanted to marry me. I did and she said yes so we got married.
*What really
attracted you to her?
>She is
beautiful and understanding. She's not the rough, partying or crazy type. She
understood me a lot and she's always been supportive.
*What advice
did dad give you regarding Nollywood?
>My
father always told me, 'don't take what belongs to another person. If a role is
meant to be yours, it will definitely come to you; it may take some years but
it will surely come to you.' He said 'don't go backbiting by going behind to
take somebody else's role. Even if you're called for a particular script and
at the end of the day, it's not given to you, don't go struggling for it.
Instead, pray about it and walk away.
*Can you
share some of the crazy things fans have done to you?
>A fan
once kissed me in front of my house, in front of my wife. I was about getting
into my car when she rushed towards me and kissed me. My wife was surprised
though she's is used to it now. These days when I see such coming, I try to run
away; I don't want them coming too close. - See more at:
