“My Father Still Doesn’t Accept It” - Uzor Arukwe Opens Up on Family Struggles Behind His Acting Career
Nigerian actor Uzor Arukwe is opening up about a deeply personal story about his road to success. In a recent revelation, the actor shared that his decision to pursue acting was not fully embraced at home, especially by his father.
“My father doesn’t know that I’m an actor. He has heard, but he doesn’t want to believe.”
According to Uzor, his father has remained in denial about his career path, choosing not to acknowledge his work in the entertainment industry. Uzor also revealed that his mother initially struggled to support his decision, largely influenced by her husband’s stance. However, over time, things changed. She gradually came around and began to accept his path, now offering support that continues to encourage him.
Uzor Arukwe’s story is especially powerful when set alongside his earlier revelation that he was fired from his corporate job years ago, a moment that pushed him fully into acting. He stayed the course, and today he’s a recognised face in Nollywood.
Uzor Arukwe’s journey is a reminder that just because the people closest to you don't support you, does not mean you cannot make it.
