I don't act romance movies anymore because of my age - Mercy Johnson

Nollywood actress, Mercy Johnson has revealed that she can no longer act romance roles because of her age.

The 35-year old mother of three who is expecting her fourth child disclosed this during the premier of her latest movie, Legend of Inkpi.

Speaking to Goldmyne TV, Mercy Johnson stated that she made some mistakes in her early days as an actress which she's not proud of.

Revealing that she now has a better sense of judgment, Mercy Johnson stated that she now avoids roles that are romantic or require her to go unclad. According to her, she now has a lot of people to answer to.

She said: “When I do that, what would the younger girls do? When you grow past a certain level, you try to go ahead and do better. For me, you don’t need people to tell you what’s right or wrong. Age is telling on me. I’ve grown past that level, I’m answerable to too many people: my husband, my kids. I hate to embarrass them in any way. My daughter is growing.

"She gets hold of my phone sometimes, begins to google, and goes like, ‘Mum, my friends said…’ And they’re very inquisitive. I don’t think it’s (playing unclad scenes) something I want to do to make my kids question me in any way or have something in their mind that they want to ask and they can’t."
