Celebrity Dad, Uzor Arukwe On ‘Why I Keep My Family Out Of The Spotlight’

In case many of you don’t know, Nollywood actor Uzor Arukwe is a married man, and also a father.

So little is known about his family, and it comes as a surprise to many whenever he reveals the information that he’s married in any new interview or setting. According to Uzor, it is all purposeful.

During a new interview, the movie star finally opened up about why exactly he chooses to hide his family so much, and also during the interview, spoke a little about his journey into Nollywood.

According to the dad of three, he intentionally keeps his family away from public attention, emphasizing the importance of maintaining their privacy and allowing them to live a normal life.

The actor further explained that his wife values her privacy, which majorly influenced his decision to separate his family life from his career.

In his words:

“It was a very deliberate act because I wanted to keep my family away from my work. When I started, I intended to be out there alone. I wanted to achieve greatness without exposing them to the limelight.

I felt they wouldn’t be able to live their normal lives if I brought them into the public eye, and I just didn’t want that for them. My wife prefers to do her thing and be a normal person.”

The 41-year-old multi-talented star also said about the decision during an interview with Chude:

“I looked at all the great people before me and I noticed that they kept their family away from their art. Somehow, it kept them sane.”
