Nollywood actress Alex Okoroji, who has been away from the screen for some time, recently shared her struggle to establish herself as an individual and not just be recognized as the daughter of COSON boss, Tony Okoroji.
In a chat with NollyNow, Alex spoke about her efforts to create a separate identity within the movie industry and not live under her father’s shadow. She wanted to be known for her own talents and achievements, not just as Chief Tony Okoroji’s daughter.
During the early days of her career, Alex found it challenging as people would often associate her with her father. She worked hard to carve out her own path, building her own brand and establishing herself as a performer.
Alex admitted that art runs in her family, with her father being a musician and her mother a fashion designer. She acknowledged that she couldn’t escape her genes and that her upbringing in an artistic environment influenced her decision to follow in her father’s footsteps.
Despite the expectations and challenges, Alex Okoroji has successfully made a name for herself in the entertainment industry and continues to pursue her passion for acting.
