Segun Arinze reveals why he stopped acting
Veteran actor Segun Arinze has shared insights into why his acting career came to a halt and his decision to step away from acting.
In a recent interview with media personality Chude Jideonwo, Nollywood actor Segun Arinze reflected on his experiences in the industry.
Arinze recounted his rise to fame with his role as Black Arrow in the 1996 Nollywood film Silent Night. However, he also revealed that consistently being cast as a villain took a toll on his mental health, ultimately leading to his decision to quit acting.
“There was a time I took a hiatus from acting when people were casting in that mold of bad boy, bad boy and it began to affect my psyche and all that,” Arinze said.
He also spoke to Chude for the first about his divorce from the popular actress, Anne Njemanze. “I stayed out of marriage after the first one collapsed. I stayed out for like 12 years before I remarried,” he said.
