Exclusive! My body is so sexy, irresistible – Jojo Charry, actress

Few days ago, Liberian born- Washington DC based Nollywood actress, Jojo Charry, set the internet on fire with her daring n*de birthday photos.While some admired, others admonished.

In an interview with Goldenpearlmedia, the beautiful diva cleared the air on the reasons behind the photoshoot, her encounter with l3sbians, plans for the future and lots more.

I was born in Liberia, but grew up in Ghana. 18 years ago, I moved to Washington DC, USA . Then some years back, Desmond Elliott introduced me into the movie industry. He was the first producer that gave me a movie role. It was Nigerian movie, but was shot in the United States, so he got me involved. It was called The Trap. I did about four movies in the States with Desmond. 

Then, when I came down to Nigeria, i shot with Debby. The movie was titled Friends Or Foes. I also did Emeka The Lalala with Chigozie Atuanya, we shot some parts in Houston, came down to Nigeria to shoot the remaining part, then sadly this father passed away. 

Do you have your own movie production?

Not yet. I’m still learning the craft. I’m not so good enough to venture into movie production. It would take a little while. 

Do you have that in mind?

Maybe, some day in future. But for now, not at all.

Your daring birthday photos went viral online with lots of backlashes, did it make you regret ever posting them?

To be honest, I have always thought of doing a n*de photoshoot for a long time. When I younger, I felt like my body was too sexy and it scares me then. I was ashamed of my body, it was too grown. Now that I’m older, I saw that it was like a trend, everybody crave to have a sexy body. People are paying, some going under the knife to have my kind of body, so why am I covering myself? I had to embrace myself. Like, this is who I am, the body is not going anywhere. It is going to be mine forever.

So, the last time I came to Nigeria, I was like, let me do a nude photoshoot. I love my body just like I love myself. So, I wanted to world to see what I have got in me. 

However, it’s not like I was totally n*de, because I wasn’t showing anything. But Nigerians are taking the matter too seriously. I’m not mad at them, I am just enjoying it all. I don’t care. People must talk, complain, regardless of what you do or didn’t do. That’s the kind of world we live in! I just do whatever makes me happy.

How about your boyfriend, what were his reactions?

He is very supportive of everything that I do. As long as it makes me happy and comfortable. He made sure I was ready for the tongue lashing, before I posted those photos.

Was he there with you during the shoot?

He was supposed to be there, but he couldn’t make it. We actually came down to Nigeria together but he had to go back to the States during the shoot for something urgent.

Obviously, from your stylist, Swanky Jerry to all the camera crew, saw you n@ked, didn’t that make you uncomfortable?

Swanky asked me all over if I was ready for such a daring shoot, I told him I was, then we went into action. I was not shy or uncomfortable at all, because it was all professional. It wasn’t a s3x scene or something of such, just a n*de photo session. They all did their works professionally. I was very confident!

Are there things you do to maintain your sexy body?

Well, I eat a whole lot but healthy. I also wear Waist Trainers. I have my own Waist Trainer line coming out soon. In two weeks time, we will launch it. It’s for women that want a sexy body and slim waist.

From your experience and encounter what do you love about Nigerian guys?

I love Nigerian guys because they are hustlers. They are also very cool people. I love their confidence. They always want to represent their country. They are fun and very lovely set people.

Seems your guy is a Nigerian too?

(Smiles) Well, I still want to keep my relationship private because I don’t want people getting into my business. I can’t tell you where he is from; that’s my little secret.

 

What got you attracted to him?

A whole lot. He is proud of me. He is very calm not a show off like me (Smiles). He is very caring and loving and quite business minded too. Sometimes, he doesn’t give me enough attention and I always complain, but I just try to understand.

Any plans to walk down the aisle soon?

Of course, if the good Lord says so. In every relationship that’s what every girl hopes for, likewise me. I don’t mind getting married to him because I love him so dearly.

What happens if you get pregnant and he is not ready for marriage then?

I don’t believe in having a child out of wedlock. But, if I get older and haven’t found the right guy, I might consider that. Or maybe I get pregnant and we both decide to keep it, then it’s fine. The good Lord will bless us. Being a baby mama, all depends on the circumstances I find myself in.

Do you worry, you might lose your almighty sexy body after childbirth?

Not all. That’s where the beauty spa and Waist Trainer come in. I’m not scared at all. I have to try everything possible to maintain my sexy body, because I don’t want my husband to go anywhere else. He met and married me looking all hot and sexy, I must strive to maintain that look for him.

Celebrity marriages don’t last, any plan to make yours different?

My prayer is that whoever I’m getting married to, we will have a very good understanding. I’ll never give my husband any reason to think about divorce. Whatever issue we have, would be resolved within us, no third party. We should not forget the reason why we fell in love. 

Honestly, divorce is not a good feeling and I don’t wish that for myself.

Aside acting what else do you do?

I work. Yes, I have  a 9 – 5 job to pay my bills. I actually work for my aunty as one of her directors. She understands my acting job too, so whenever I have a script, I get her permission, then I go for it.

Were you parents in support of your acting career?

My mum and dad, are very supportive. They made sure we follow our dreams, as long as you are making enough money to sustain you and also take good care of your children when they start coming.

What is your position in the family?

I’m the 7th child in my family. My father has 9 children. But from my mum, I’m the only child. 

How was it growing up in a polygamous family?

When we were in Ghana, it was all good. Although we didn’t leave together as one big family. We have always lived separately. We are planning to have a family get together this year. 

Where do you project yourself in near future?

I want to get married within the next two years, with kids, living in my mansion. A successful business woman. A CEO and happy too.
