I Lock Myself In The Room And Cry – Funke Akindele

Actress and filmmaker Funke Akindele has opened up about her private battles, revealing that she often breaks down in tears behind closed doors despite her cheerful public persona.

Akindele made the revelation during a recent interview with CNN Africa’s Larry Madowo.

According to the filmmaker, there are moments when life becomes overwhelming and she retreats to her room to cry.

“I cry. I lock myself in the room, cry, break down, hit the bed. But I just pick up myself and come back to life,” she said.

She admitted that she sometimes questions her decisions and worries about public judgement.

“Sometimes I tell myself, ah, you’ve made a mistake again. How are people going to judge you? Do you care about that? Why don’t you just brace up, face it, face the challenges, move on in life?” she said.
