CAREER AND LIFE
Mercy’s first attempt at acting as a maid in the movie “The Maid” shot her into the limelight. Since then she has featured in over 50 movies and has won several awards including the Best Actress at the 2013 Africa Magic Viewers Choice Award for her role in the movie “Dumebi The Dirty Girl”.
At the moment,Mercy is undoubtedly having the time of her life.
According to her she actually had just one inspiration and it was Genevieve Nnaji. When she got into Nollywood, lots of things later inspired her to do the things she does but she triggered her interest. She watched her in the movie “Sharon Stone” and she knew she wanted tO act.
She got married in August 2011 and in December 2012, gave birth to her daughter in the United States of America. Even though its been almost two years since her wedding, Mercy still giggled and spoke about her husband with such fondness as a newlywed.
She recently moved into her new home at Ajah, Lagos and dedicated her baby, an event which attracted major buzz.It was fun chatting with the actress who has taken a break off acting and is enjoying herself just being a wife and mother for now.
Speaking of her sexiness which does get her into lots of controversial issues.. People often say "The actress is endowed both back and front" meaning her breasts and buttocks.
She said she believes that sexiness runs in her family line, she described in an interview about her daughter below:
"For me, it just runs in my family. I don’t work out or do anything. I’m just trying now to work out and swim to lose weight and get back to work so Odi doesn’t get to call meOroboagain. When I bath Purity in the morning and I see the curve of her hips, I say “Oh my God, Odi. Purity has hips” then he says, “She is just 4 months old, shut up”." Odi is her husband.
In an interview she also mentioned Few things about her husband and how they met, see below:
When did you meet him and how did the love spark between both of you?
"I met him in 2009. We had met before on a flight and I didn’t remember but we met again in 2009. He is a good person. I can’t really tell how it started. We kinda clicked and started dating just about the same month and it feels like we’ve been married for four years because since we met, we’ve been really into each other we’ve been really close."
He must have known you were an actress then. How did this affect the way you started off your relationship?
Yes he did, but he didn’t know I was that big because he didn’t really follow the movie industry.
"Sometimes you meet some guys and they get intimidated about you but not with him. The first time we were supposed to have a date, he said “Let’s go to my house so you can cook for me” and in my mind I was like“Seriously, this guy doesn’t even know my name”. So I said “My name is Mercy Johnson” and he said “Yes I know”."
She once got her hair barbed all clean like a baby because of a huge money she is to be paid to do that in a movie...
