Nollywood star Mercy Johnson Okojie has shared a heartfelt insight into a major decision she made in her acting career, one that reflects her deep love and respect for her family. In a recent statement, the award-winning actress revealed that while she once took on a wide variety of roles, including those involving romantic and intimate scenes, everything changed after she got married. “I used to be open to all kinds of roles, including kissing scenes. Back then, it was just part of the job,” she said. “But after I got married, everything changed.” Mercy explained that her choice was not born out of pressure, but rather personal conviction. “Marriage comes with responsibilities, and for me, respect is very important. My husband is very supportive, but I wouldn’t feel comfortable if the roles were reversed. That’s why I decided to stop kissing in movies.” Now a mother of four, Mercy says her family has become her top priority, especially as her children grow older and begin to watch her films. “I want to set a good example for them. There are many ways to show love in films without being too intimate,” she explained. Despite stepping back from certain types of roles, Mercy Johnson made it clear that her passion for acting hasn’t wavered. “I love my job, but I also love and respect my family. That’s why I made this decision, and I have no regrets.” The actress’s revelation has sparked a wave of admiration online, with many praising her for setting boundaries and choosing values over popularity. As one of Nollywood’s most respected talents, Mercy Johnson continues to show that grace, growth, and self-respect are just as powerful on and off screen.
