 Nollywood Actor, Zubby Michael has Finally Reveal Why He Has No Girlfriend Nor Wife At 37.

One name that is bound to ring bells in recent times whenever you talk about Nigerian movies, especially epic movies is Zubby Michael.

 

The 36-year old rugged actor is currently the toast of the country’s movie industry. He has proved his mettle overtime as a gifted actor and favourite of many film producers.

Known for playing royal prince, lover boy, villain, gangster roles in movies, the actor, who marked his 36th birthday on the 1st of February in grand style, fits into roles which have endeared him to many movie buffs. They admire his versatility and humility.

Till date, lovers of Nigerian movies are still talking about the roles he played in such movies as “Three Widows” starring actress Ngozi Ezeonu, Oge Okoye, Queen Nwokoye, late Justus Esiri, Naa Ashorkor Mensah-Doku, “ Royal Storm” and The Generals” among other blockbuster movies.

In fact, since he made his acting debut in the 2007 movie, “Missing Rib”, Michael has not looked back in his quest to conquer the screen in Nigeria and beyond. Though “Missing Rib”was his first movie, it was “The Three Widows” where he played the lead role that put him in the spotlight.

Citing “The Three Widows” as his most challenging movie ever, in a chat with our reporter, the handsome and tough-talking, actor said while the production of the movie lasted, he had sleepless nights rehearsing and memorizing his lines.

“I was a prince in that film and it was my first lead role. I had sleepless nights rehearsing and memorizing my lines. When the movie was released, my phone never stopped ringing as every producer wanted me on his set,” the actor added.

Michael described his venturing into acting as an accident, adding that he was already a successful businessman who was living large in Onitsha before he later dumped his lucrative business for acting.

Narrating how his acting career began, the Mass Communication graduate from Nnamdi Azikwe University, Awka, said it started like a joke as he was led by God.

 

“I came to see a friend, Solomon Amaco when they were shooting a musical video. I wasn’t there to be part of the production, but to have a drink with them. Later, I was given the role of a gate man in the movie, “Missing Rib’ starring Ramsey Nouah and Tonto Dikeh as the lead characters. But when I featured in my second movie, ‘The Generals” starring the likes of Jim Iyke, Mike Ezuruonye, Uche Jombo among others, my story changed.”

“After the production, I became the most sought actor by the producers and directors. That was when I knew that I was destined to be an actor. Put succinctly, I ventured into acting by accident,” the actor narrated.

Narrating further, Michael said he was already living large before venturing into acting.

“I was a successful business man. I was driving Mercedes 190 back then in 2007. And I used to buy drinks and share money among my Nollywood friends. That was how the big film makers in Asaba came to know me. They were using my car to pick the likes of Jim Iyke from the Airport. I was like an errand boy to them in a big way then. When I ventured into acting which needed my attention, and was getting bigger and bigger, I had to dump business for acting . Now, aside being an actor, I am also a successful movie producer. I have shot a couple of movies,”the actor revealed.

Michael, who has been plying his trade in Asaba, the Delta State capital, since he debuted his acting career, recently moved to Lagos, in his quest to conquer the big screen in the country.
