Speaking about his experience with a stroke on Channels TV, Denrele Edun said he had trouble breathing, had trouble seeing properly, his right leg became paralysed, and his front hair fell out.

The well-known figure went on to say that while he was fighting the stroke, a buddy invited him to a movie shoot, but he decided to go instead of accepting sympathy or disclosing his illness.

In his words,

“I was very sick at a time, so I had just come out of having a stroke on half of my face. It had never happened before but it didn’t stop or deter me from working. My face was droopy, I was left-handed, so on the right side. Every time I had to drink water, it would pour out, one eye was wide open, I couldn’t hear; and I couldn’t breathe. All my hairstyles covered that side so you can never tell.

And then, getting out of that, another attack came from nowhere. On this one, I couldn’t walk; my right leg was dysfunctional, and I lost half of my hair. My friend asked me to make a cameo in her movie during that period and I didn’t like pity so I couldn’t tell her that I was sick and unable to perform well.”
