I Could Not Conduct Myself With The Best Decorum Earlier In My Career
Popular Nollywood bad boy character personified Jim Iyke speaks about his bad reputation from his earlier days in his acting career, which brought him a lot of fame, however, he did admit that he could have conducted himself with much more decorum. He also accepted that just maybe he did a little bit too much which earned him the reputation.
In an interview with Sunday Scoop, Jim Iyke said,“One cannot make a difference in anything in life if one is not open to criticism. At first, don’t forget we were not schooled about what to expect as regards being famous and handling fame. We did not understand what it meant. We did a little bit too much that earned us bad reputation. I could not conduct myself with the best decorum in those days. As one gets older, one understands oneself, one’s pattern, the people around one and the responsibility that has been entrusted unto one.
It is no small gift to influence people. One owes the world a certain responsibility whether one likes it or not. We refused our responsibility along the way but once one embraces it, things would become easy. That is what I do these days. It is about my businesses, family and mental health.”
Asked about the woman in his life, the actor said, “My partner is a very quiet, conservative and highly intelligent person. She does not have any say in the limelight. At some point, I understood it. It is simple arithmetic— one is out there and the focus is on one. (The best thing is to) find somebody there is no focus on, but meets one’s intellectual, physical and spiritual values.” READ ALSO: It’s Not Easy To Be A Rich Kid Still Work – Jim Iyke Hails Davido Over Wizkid
Sharing his thoughts on the ban of Twitter in Nigeria, he said, “I don’t agree with the regulation of social media in Nigeria. The strongest tool of interaction for millennials is social media. You cannot take that away. It is not just a platform for commerce for them; it is also a platform for venting about social ills. If you take that away, you take away their fundamental human rights. It is to be denounced in every form or shape.”
Meanwhile, in his debut as a filmmaker, Jim Iyke is set to release a movie titled, Bad Comments. READ ALSO: Jim Iyke’s Ex-Girlfriend Sandra Benede Celebrates Birthday With Racy Snap
The flick, which stars Chiwetalu Agu, Patience Ozokwor, Osas Ighodaro, Ini Edo, Timaya, Young John and Sharon Ooja, among others, is a fast-paced fusion of drama and thriller, with a blend of momentary comedic reliefs. Inspired by true-life events, it is said to mirror the lives of celebrities and how their careers can be at the mercy of propaganda circulated by social media trolls.
Speaking on what inspired the movie, the actor said, “What we intended to achieve is telling a story that resonates with everyone, such that anyone who watches the movie can either relate directly with a character or know someone who has had a similar experience.”
