He is one of the most popular actors in Nigeria. This is because he's probably one actor who has kissed all the ladies who ever acted love roles in Nollywood films featuring him.

Emeka Ike is a role model to youths too. Ike has acted in a good number of classic movies like Leap of Faith, Love Doctor amongst others. In spite of the glamour and fame of being an actor, Ike said he sometimes regrets being a celebrity. In this encounter with The Entertainer, Ike explains why he regrets being a celebrity and bares his mind on other issues.

Excerpts:

You seem to be taking a break from acting. Why ?

It's not only me you don't see in movies these days. You don't see other big names as well. You don't see all of us the way you used to see us then. We aren't as current and regular as before. This is because lately, a problem I have been lamenting over has sent everybody back to the drawing board. So, we are all making one movie in a year now. I just made my own movie recently. What they are doing now isn't the Nollywood l know. Now, they are making a movie and cutting it into10 parts.
