Stunning actor O.C. Ukeje was at the Teen Y! office recently and he revealed some tasty titbits about himself.

He was interviewed by Teen Y! editor, Yemi Obamedo.

Excerpts below:

Editor:  Hello OC

OC Ukeje: Hi Yemi

Editor: So, tell us, how was growing up like for you?

OC Ukeje; Growing up was a period of mixed feelings. Mixed feelings in the sense that there were different seasons of my period of growing up. My father was a caterer before he passed and there was a season when we lost everything and we had to live with my cousins and there were fourteen in all, it was definitely the roughest season of our lives.

There was a season were it turned to fights between what we had and for the family business because of the level of lack and the level of poverty, and then there was a season of worse when my dad passed you probably because of the troubles we’ve had and all, then came a season when things started to get better for some strange reason.

So growing up was mixed with all sorts of things, I learnt to be self sufficient and not dependent on anyone, we learnt to manage our resources and exactly what we had, I remember my mum always saying “ be judicial in your spending’ I can never forget that sentence in my whole life, she said that all the time. She taught me and my siblings to never covet other people’s things, so I can say my mother invested a lot of interesting ideas into us. Growing up was crazy but we survived it.

Editor: Okay now knowing that you were “cute” meant you had alot of crushes on girls right?

OC Ukeje:  Well I had, and you know because of the school mother concept I had a lot of girls who wanted to be my school mothers. At a time, I think I had three of them and one was a hausa chick , her name just barely skipped my mind but yeah I had “school mothers”.

Then one of the girls that I had a huge crush on, her older  sister was like my school aunty, her name I remember clearly “Teni” because her sister was my classmate and I a huge crush on her because she was super cute he name was “ Toyin Alabi” I don’t know if she is married now, she probably is, but you know that’s how it went.

Editor: Who is your crush in the entertainment industry at the moment?

OC Ukeje: I would say Chidinma Ekile, she is all forms of cute.
