Sexy Mercy Johnson Reveals All Her Inner Features

I am Mercy Johnson, an actress. I was
born 29 years ago and I am the fourth
child in a family of seven. My father is
an ex-military officer and I left my
mother at the age of two to live with
him. Due to the nature of his job, he
was constantly transferred from one
station to another. I am proud of him
because he taught me all I needed to
know from childhood to adulthood.
Movie industry I have grown with time and
there have been good and bad times. There
have been rumours and scandals.
Sometimes, when I cry in movies, it wasn't
the script that made me cry. Rather, I reflect
on my humble beginning and the height I've
attained now. This makes me cry. Journey
into acting After my secondary school
education, I approached a friend for
assistance to feature in a movie. He took me
to the National Theatre, Lagos, but a role did
not come until a year later. My first lead role
was in a film titled, 'The Maid.' It was quite
challenging to interprete because it was my
first movie. When I saw the veterans on set, I
fidgeted. A star actress Life is in phases and I
cannot say I have reached the peak of my
profession. I have not even won an Oscar yet!
There is always a higher mountain to climb, a
new vision to fulfill and I am at that point. I
want to achieve new and greater dreams.
Fulfillment The greatest fulfillment is the
ability to influence people positively through
my acting. Challenges Life is not a bed of
roses; it comes with challenges which make
me stronger and who I am. Nollywood: Then
and now We have achieved feats which the
old Nollywood did not achieve. It is all about
progression and I am sure that in the future,
Nollywood will achieve a greater feat than it is
doing currently. Relationship My husband is
loving and he is an understanding man. I am
so happy to be married to him. I acted a
movie, 'Baby Oku in America' when I was
heavily pregnant and he didn't feel bad
about it. He understands that I am an actor
and sometimes, we need real life situations,
like the pregnancy, to interpret a role. Not
many men would allow their wife do that.
Scandals They are all lies. I just think the
media needs to do their verification well
before they put any story out. Whenever I
read all manner of lies about me in the
media, I wonder where all of these came from
and regret being an actor. But in all, I move
on and take it as one of the hazards of the
job. I am fulfilled as an actor. Mercy Johnson
Foundation I floated the foundation because
of my love for the less privileged. One of my
greatest joys is to see other people happy. I
want to make lasting impact in my society.
The objective is to identify the needs of the
less privilege, evaluate them and help in our
own little way. I strongly believe that as
movie stars, we should live beyond the
euphoria of stardom. A sexy woman It is
inbuilt. It's just how you feel about yourself.
For me, being sexy is confidence. It mustn't
be about the hairstyle or the accessories or
the big buttocks. It's about you, liking
yourself just the way you are. Motherhood My
husband is a wonderful man. He makes my
job easier and helps carry our daughter,
Purity. He feeds her and she misses him
whenever he is not around. As a family, we
understand one another and we make
whatever adjustments we have to make in
order to have a good home. Success The
challenges I faced have yielded results and I
am reaping the fruits of all my efforts. I have
grown from nobody in the industry to
becoming a top actress from Africa. To God
be all the glory. To be an actress Talent is
never enough you must constantly brush up
your talent but training can come in different
form. You only need to ensure that in
whatever form, you are not just relying on
your inborn talent. Projects There are many
but I'm not permitted to disclose them yet.
They will start unfolding soon. Fear My worst
fear will be to leave this earth without making
a huge impact. Fashion I don't wear what is
in vogue or what everybody is wearing, I just
wear what suits me and I'm lucky to have a
physique that encourages everything I wear.
My husband is a huge critic, so when he pays
compliments to my dressing, I feel so good.
He doesn't believe that exposing anything
makes you look better. He feels when you
cover up, you look real nice. To upcoming
actors Be yourself and let your talent speak
for you. Don't come into the industry
because you want to be famous, but because
you love the art of acting. Then try to
appreciate those who were there before you.
