Here’s Why Nollywood Actor, Olu Michaels At 48 Says It’s Too Late For Him To Have Children
Nollywood actor and film maker, Olu Michaels, 48, has undertaken quite an impressive amount of work in Nigeria’s movie making industry, but this time he’s talking about why he is single at 48, his decision to never marry and why having a child is too late for him.
The travel agent-cum-producer, in this no-hold-barred interview with OLAITAN GANIU of The Nation newspaper shared all the details on why neither marriage nor bearing kids is attractive to him at the moment.
In the interview, the 48-year-old actor shared that he is scared of getting married. He also gave reasons why it is too late for him to have kids even though his parents have been pushing him to get married.
“I’m not married, and I don’t intend to. Truth be told, I’m scared of marriage and I don’t think I will ever get married. ..
Though, I wanted to have kids when I was younger but not now, it is too late. Why I said it’s too late for having children is that I am a workaholic and I don’t like a situation where I would want to sleep and then a baby starts crying.
My parents have been begging me to get married but no”
he said.
His aversion to marriage or having kids does not mean, however, that he does not keep romantic relationships. Asked what he looks out for in a woman, Michaels said;
“I am a jealous man. For example, if I marry an actress and I see her kissing another actor on set, I will never tolerate such. Also, if I marry a beautiful woman, I might never concentrate on my work because I will be on the look to protect her.”
He also opened up on what he does whenever he feels lonely at night. Olu Michaels said he drives around his Mercedes Benz which has a lovely interior and sleeps off on it whenever he feels lonely.
“What I do every time I feel lonely is that I have a car that I bought with all my money. It is a Mercedes-Benz and the interior is wow. I love it. I just drive round town and get home and sleep off”
he said.
