Mercy Johnson in a recent
interview says Genevieve Nnaji
is her role model, hence, her
adoration of the international
act. Mercy Johnson made it
known that although she has
been proclaimed as a great
actress, she believes
Genevieve’s acting prowess
far more surpass hers. Linda
Ikeji reports that she said:
“I think I have one of the best
role models ever. I like
Genevieve like crazy. I started
watching her movies from the
onset but I didn’t want to be
Genevieve, I wanted to be
Mercy with the motivation that
a Genevieve could give me. So
I watched lots of movies. I
don’t play with her movies. I
don’t know what I can do that
will be better than what she
has done. But I just try to
improve on it, try to do it the
way she will do it and perhaps
even better to my own level. I
practice like all the time. It is
like a passion. It is just where
I want to be. I am alive and I
am in my space. It was
paramount to perfect that
space. I need everything. I
watch everything. Nothing
passes me by. I watch
newscasters reading there
news and after they are done,
I sit down the way they do
and read the news like that.
So it is practice and Passion.”
