Charles Oputa, also known as Charly Boy, a veteran performer, has revealed that he does not consume alcohol.
He also stated that he has tried to quit smoking but has struggled with the addiction.
In a recent interview with actress Iyabo Ojo, the maverick singer admitted to drinking a small amount of alcoholic wine but insisted that he is not a frequent drinker.
The 73-year-old attributes his fitness to genetic factors as well as his lifestyle, noting that his parents and grandparents enjoyed long lives.
“I was fortunate enough to form the habit of always going to the gym and looking after my physical wellbeing,” he stated. You know, a lot of things are speculated about people in the [entertainment] industry. But I’m not a drinker. I’ve never consumed [alcohol] before. Except when I want to socialize, you add a little wine to it [laughs].
“I’m attempting to kick my nicotine [smoking] habit.” Because it is extremely harmful to my health. I suppose the longest I’ve abstained was nearly seven years. I’ve been having back-and-forth with it. I go and then return.”
