Nollywood Veteran, Pat Attah, did not hold back when he opened up about his previous affairs with Nigerian Actresses.
In a recent live chat on Instagram with Vanguard, the Anambra State-born actor talked about his past relationships, relocation to Germany, acting career and some misconceptions about his brand.
The movie star revealed that he decided to relocate to Germany because he was not living his dream in Nigeria.
He said, while in Nigeria he was living his life to please others and that it was like he was caged back home.
Speaking on the romantic roles he played in movies, the lover boy actor admitted dating many actresses in his days.
He said;
“I don’t feel guilty playing those romantic roles even though at a point it became more like a stereotyped thing, where I was regularly cast for the lover boy role in almost all the movies. That wasn’t me. Rather, it was me playing the character I was told to play.”
“The truth of the fact is that back then, many of the actresses claimed I had something to do with them; I didn’t have anything to do with anybody. After shooting a film, the producer might decide to put a story out there to trigger a reaction so that the people can go and watch the movie. He might say ‘Pat Attah in a sizzling romance with actress A or B.’ It’s a seasonal romance with the person in the movie and not outside of the movie. I am not saying that I haven’t dated a couple of actresses but most of the stories peddled about me then were not true.”
Pat didn’t confirm whether he’s married or not. But he muttered “ I didn’t say there’s no vacancy in me. It’s a puzzle, I just allow people to play around it.”
The handsome actor said that he has not retired from acting, and he’s ready to return to Nollywood any day he’s called upon by the producers.
“I’m just waiting for the right time. If I get the right script, I will be there. I could even do it on my own. I could also become a producer even though I do not want to go into film production. I want to remain an actor,” he enthused.
He also debunked the rumour that made rounds back then that he had given his life to Christ and now, winning souls for Him in Germany, describing it as “misconception”.
The veteran is into music, photography among other businesses in Germany, that makes him keep body and soul together in a strange land.
Pat Attah, Emeka Ike and Ramsey Nouah ruled the movie industry in early 2000 as ‘Nollywood lover boys’.
The actor stared alongside celebrities like Pete Edochie, Ramsey Nouah, Genevieve Nnaji, Oge Okoye, Ini Edo, Alex Lopez, Steph Nora Okere, Patience Ozkwo and others before his exit from the movie screen.
Some of his movies include Glamour Girls, Break Up, Battle of Love, Orange Groove, My Wedding Eve, Colour of Love, Extreme Measure, The Same Joy and others.
