Veteran actor, Segun Arinze has recounted how late movie producer, Chico Ejiro made him rock his signature look.
Arinze revealed that he began to rock the bald look after he appeared in Chico’s flick ‘Silent Night’.
Speaking in a chat with Punch, he said: “I did not lose my hair. When Chico Ejiro called and asked if I would like to play a part called Black Arrow in the film, Silent Night, I agreed. He asked if I would not be aversed to shaving my hair and I said, no. I shaved my hair and ever since then, I left it like that. I shaved my hair for the movie, Silent Night and after that, I decided to leave it.
“If I really want to grow my hair, I will but I feel comfortable like this. I do not need to comb it. All my kids have hair; if I want to grow my hair, I can. All I need to do is to keep it for about three months and it will grow.”
TheNewsGuru recalls that Chico Ejiro died on December 25, 2020, as a result of complications arising from High Blood Pressure. His elder brother, revered filmmaker, Zeb Ejiro has announced that Chico will be buried on February 20, 2021.
Sharing how Chico impacted Nollywood, Mike Ezuronye said:“It is shocking. You cannot write the story of Nollywood without putting the name of Chico Ejiro in it. He was a visionary and icon who also made a lot of icons. He was a forerunner and we are going to miss him. His name would definitely be written in the good books of Nollywood. He was part of those who brought Nollywood to the fore. Chico Ejiro is gone.”
