Sign on my bra a fan tells — Mike Ezuruonye

Actor Mike Ezuruonye disclosed his encounter with a female fan in an interview “It is easy once I tell myself that they are crazy for the characters they see on the screen; not Mike, the real person.  Sharing his worst experience as an actor, “I was abroad and a female fan pulled her bra in a restaurant for me to sign! She shouted, 'Mike, you must sign this.' I was so embarrassed because I thought my hat and glasses disguised me enough.”He said.

The graduate of Accounting related his personality in contrast to the roles he plays; “I am not the characters I play in my movies. Those are the figment of the writer's imagination and it is my job as an actor to interpret them well. As for my real personality, one of my best commandments from God is, 'Love thy neighbor as thyself,' so I try to treat everyone right. I am a regular guy who happens to earn a living by appearing on many screens around the world. Stardom can be very funny, therefore, I surround myself with people who have known and still know the real Mike; that is my family. I am mostly a private person and prefer communicating to people through my art. Finally, most of all, I fear God. He guides my life. He stated

The one time banker recounts his achievements “I am happy to be part of an industry that has and continues to educate Africans and the world about our past, present and our future. Nollywood is a worthy and valuable Nigerian export. I am fulfilled in the career I have chosen. What has kept me going? Hard work, perseverance and most of all, I have great passion for acting. I have worked for a while in a bank before I started my acting career. I have been acting for a few years now but I consider myself a new actor for every new script that I get.”He affirmed.
