Movie lovers must have noticed that Uti Nwachukwu no longer
appears in movies, unlike what obtained in the past. The last time he featured
in a movie, Mummy Dearest 2, was last
July.
While chatting with Sunday Scoop the winner of Big Brother Africa 5 revealed why he stopped acting for a while
now.
He said, “I haven’t been in the country, but I am back now.
I took a break from acting because it doesn’t pay much and I am not ready for
that kind of life. I don’t want to pretend about it; so, I am only focusing on
what brings greater remuneration, which is television presenting and hosting of
events.
“Acting would just be a hobby because honestly, producers
can't afford to pay what I want to earn. But I will not stay away from movies
totally; I will pick only exceptional movies instead of featuring in all the
ones I am invited to partake in. I don’t have so much time for little money. I
am not here to pretend all is well. I am in the industry to make money; I am
not in the industry to play.”
He dismissed a claim that he did not attend Yomi Casual’s
weeding. According to him, he did show up at the ceremony but spent only a
short period because he had other things to attend to.
He, however, said despite the fact that his colleagues were
getting married, he was not in a rush to do same.
“I will marry at the right time and marriage is not a
competition. Once I find the right person, nothing will prevent me from getting
married. I a man adult and my parents are educated. Therefore, they can't force
me to get married,” he added.
