My Father’s Name made me lose Acting Roles – Yul Edochie reveals

Nollywood actor, Yul Edochie recently opened up on the fact that he was denied acting roles severally, because of his father, Pete Edochie.

The handsome actor revealed this on Sunday via a tweet, while responding to a fan who lamented over the difficulty in getting acting roles in Nollywood.

Buttressing his point, Yul took the fan down memory lane to the early days of his career, and how the mention of his dad’s name made people envious of him.

Yul Edochie wrote;

“Politics is played in every country and in every industry, not only Nollywood.
Ask people in other fields. In my early days I was dropped many times too because of my father’s name, it made many envious. But I never gave up”.
