Nollywood star Zubby Michael has finally opened up about his fear of women and why he deliberately avoided romantic relationships during the early years of his career. In a recent interview, the actor revealed that he made a conscious decision to prioritize his personal growth over emotional attachments, a choice that shaped his journey in the film industry.
A Conscious Decision to Stay Single
Zubby Michael confessed that he purposely stayed away from romantic commitments during his early career. He questioned how a young man without a stable foundation could effectively balance "true love" with the demands of the film industry. Speaking about his time in Asaba, a major hub for Nollywood productions, he explained that those years were marked by intense hustle, where every opportunity mattered and distractions could come at a cost.
"I've been scared of women… I've been working hard," he said, reflecting on that period. He noted that relationships come with emotional responsibilities that, if not properly managed, could interfere with productivity. One of his biggest concerns was losing focus, as emotional issues in a relationship could easily spill into his professional life, affecting his performance on set. "If you disturb me mentally, it will affect my work," he added.
Evolution of Views on Relationships
Despite his earlier stance, Zubby Michael made it clear that his views on relationships have evolved. Now that he has achieved a level of stability, he feels more comfortable opening up to the idea of love. "See now I don get my house. Now I can say okay let's see how it goes. There's time for everything… Na now we wan love," he stated, suggesting that he is now ready to explore that aspect of life.

The interview sparked a range of reactions from social media users.
