By Funmilayo Olusanya
Nollywood actress Judy Austin has given her husband/coworker full credit for shaping her into such an incredible performance.
She stated that being the character you’re playing is one of the difficult yet most remarkable components of acting, which goes beyond simply interpreting one’s role.
Judy acknowledged Mercy Johnson as one of the most authentic and excellent actors ever produced in Nollywood, but she also acknowledged that prior to working with Yul, she wasn’t as proficient at character interpretation.
She begged for God’s blessing on her husband and proclaimed with pride that he made sure to work her perfectly.
“One of the challenging and also most exceptional things about being an Actor is not just being able to interpret your role but also becoming your character completely!!!
“There’s a reason people think of @mercyjohnsonokojie when they watch my movies, she’s one of the most real and exceptional actors Nollywood ever created.
