Merciful Mercy Johnson

It’s not compulsory I do emotional roles; it is just that I carry emotional roles extremely well. Fine, most of my films are emotional films, but I have also done action films like Just Before The Ordination or Orungbeja; I’ve done quite a lot.

The Lagos-born actress says she has no objection to doing kissing scenes "I’ll do it over and again. I don’t have to charge more than my normal fees because I have to kiss in a movie," she says.

It depends on how much you want it. I was at a stage in my career that I needed to do something unexpected to get to the next level.” Stephanie has already made over 100 movies in Nollywood.

The film was premiered before an invited audience at the Silver Screen Theatre of the Pacific Design Centre, Hollywood, California. Stephanie took the opportunity to also launch her new fashion line – the SO Collection - at the same event.
