Abuja – Nigeria’s all time showbiz star, Charles
Chukwuemeka Oputa, popularly known as
Charlie Boy, on Friday, said smoking and drinking
were not part of his lifestyle.
Charlie Boy, who is 64 years old on Friday, said
this in interview in Abuja.
The maverick, who spoke on his lifestyle said “I
don’t drink, I don’t smoke and I don’t abuse my
body.
“I also engage in regular bodily exercise and this
keeps me smart and healthy.
“I know that this may be hard for some persons
to believe, but one does not need those things to
aspire as an artiste.
“I stopped drinking and smoking so many years
ago.
“My father never smoked nor drink and he lived
very healthy for well over 90 years, and that is
how I planned to live.’’
Charlie Boy said that abstinence from alcohol and
other abusive substances was the secret to his
fitness.
He explained further that being focused, resilient
and disciplined were among the attributes that
kept him over the years amidst constant
criticisms.
“It is my focus, determination and discipline that
has kept me this far.
“I believe that things should be done in the new
way and people should break away from the
primitive ways of doing things.
“And I always stand for what I believe.
“Trying to impress others and the pressure of
paying attention to peoples’ opinion are some of
the things that breakdown people very early in
life.
“I am not under any pressure, so I look very
strong and younger than my age.’’
Charlie is known for his preferences for make-up,
braided hairstyles, tattoos, heavy jewelleries and
piercings. (NAN)
