Nollywood veteran actor Segun Arinze recently revealed the reasons behind his decision to take a break from acting in an interview with Chude Jideonwo.

Arinze explained that he stepped away from acting due to being constantly typecast as “bad boys,” which had a negative impact on his mental well-being.

This led him to prioritize his mental health and take a hiatus from his illustrious career.

“There was a time I took a hiatus from acting when people were casting in that mold of bad boy, bad boy and it began to affect my psyche and all that,” Arinze said.

In addition to discussing his acting career, Segun Arinze also opened up about his divorce from actress Anne Njemanze during the interview, sharing insights into his personal journey publicly for the first time.

“I stayed out of marriage after the first one collapsed. I stayed out for like 12 years before I remarried,” Segun Arinze added.
