Segun Arinze never talks about his personal life and so I am grateful that he shared these truths with me.
He talks about navigating the very public divorce with his fellow actor wife, how he handled the public attention and the years he spent in tearful prayer to God asking for a new partner.
We talk about the depression that followed the massive success of the ‘Black Arrow’ character that made him a star - while the world celebrated him, the role caged him.
We talk about his silence after his daughter called him out on social media, and why he will not join issues with his family on social media
And we talk about those terrible years when he was blacklisted by Nollywood, and voice overs saved his life.
It’s Segun Arinze, in full colour
