On Monday, during an interview on Channels TV, Nollywood actor Chidi Mokeme revealed that he took a leave of absence from acting to focus on his health. Recall that Chidi was featured in the recently released Netflix movie Shanty Town where he debuted after a long break.
The ex-Guilder Ulitmate Search host, said he was battling Bell’s Palsy, a condition that affects the face.
“We were preparing to go for a trip to the UK for the British International film festival, and I was suffering from something called Bell’s palsy; it comes like a stroke and it affects one side of the eye, and the doctor said it was incurable because they did not know how to treat it.
“For an actor, if you come back with something that affects your face, you can imagine what it might look like at that time; I wanted to come for the premiere for the 76 at the time, but the attention was more focused on the face at the time than the premier, and it was not something I could work with. I decided to take time off to go sort out the problem,” he said.
Mokeme who said he considered himself mentally strong added: “I am a student of life and I take life very seriously and I focus on God.”
