He also said that his lovely wife is aware of the friendship between
them and is okay with it.
When questioned, if he would have married Juliet if he wasn’t
married, the actor said yes.
Excerpts:
You have a very close relationship with Juliet Ibrahim, how does your wife
react to that?
She’s okay with it. My wife is a professional through and through. When we were
shooting ‘The Distance Between’, my wife wrote the script. She wrote my
character to have a romantic relationship with both Rita Dominic and
Mercy Johnson. She was on set while we were shooting and after doing a
kissing scene with Mercy Johnson, my wife called me aside and said “That
kiss is not real. You need to make it real”.
She knows that as long as I’m on set, it’s my job and I’m doing
the kissing not because I’m enjoying a kiss from a woman, but because
it’s the character doing the kissing, not me. If I kiss a girl outside
the set, I’ll have a lot of questions to answer. She knows about me and
Juliet.
Was it movies that brought Juliet Ibrahim and you together?
Yes. The funny thing is I’ve heard about her, seen her and the
first time we really had time to relate was when we shot the movie ‘
Corporate Operations’ with Alex Mouth in Abuja, but there was no time to
bond. Shortly after that, she called me while she was in Ghana and
there was this movie we were shooting ‘Number One Fan’, starring myself
and her.

I went over to Ghana for the movie and that was where we really
had the chance to bond. I knew her real person behind the screen, she’s
nice, hardworking, dedicated and focused and those are the qualities I
appreciate in a human being. We are still friends till today. I was at
her birthday party sometime
ago in Lagos and we had a great time partying all night long. Once
again, my wife knows about it.
If you weren’t already married, would you have married
Juliet; is she your kind of person?
Yes, she’s my kind of person. She’s smart, dedicated, but it’s a
pity I’m not single.
It’s a great thing I met my wife first and if you ask me, ‘If I had to
do it all over again, would I change anything?’. I’d tell you it’s nice
to be with someone with whom everyday is a new day with its own
challenges, rewards and beauty. My wife is creative, crazy, lovable and
she’s my love.
