Victor Udochukwu Nwaogu, a TV presenter, voice-over artiste and an actor, who calls himself the ‘Little person’ recently got his heart broken because his girlfriend abandoned him because of his height. He also revealed that he is not willing to leave the industry even though his height has stopped him from taking some roles.
Victor narrated his ordeal “I have had my fair share of challenges when it comes to relationships but it is still a normal thing. My last relationship ended because of my height. The problem was not her but her parents. I wanted to take our relationship to the next level.
She informed her parents and that was when things started to fall apart. The parents said they wouldn’t assent to it and because my ex is someone who likes to obey her parents, she called off the relationship.”
He went to say, “It is not about finding a woman; it is about finding a woman that will accept this body, especially in this part of the world.”
He said about his acting “The passion is overwhelming; it is beyond seeing actors but getting to learn how the industry plays out. For me there is no better industry I would have been. Even if I was not an actor, I would still have been in the entertainment industry,” he said. “If you look around you, society is made up of people of average height, so it will be very difficult for a writer to pick up a pen and start putting down stories that are related to little people like us.”
