Veteran actor Pete Edochie says he is happy his faculties are still complete at age 75.

The movie star who clocked 75 on Monday, March 7 said this in a video posted on Instagram to celebrate his birthday.

Speaking on how he feels being 75, he said: “How does it feel being 75, you know I’ve heard a lot of people say that age is just a number. Anybody who says that should subject himself to psychiatric evaluation because as you age you feel it within yourself but you try as much as possible not to allow it weigh you down.”

The veteran also said he was grateful for his new age because most of his colleagues who started with him are no longer alive and despite the medical challenges, his faculties are still complete.

“So I want to start by thanking the Almighty God for helping me get this far, most of my colleagues who started with me are no longer there, may their souls rest in peace. It is not easy being 75, you are prone to several medical challenges, but you just have to keep moving on but I’m happy that my faculties are still complete, so once more, I thank the Almighty God,” he wrote.

Celebrities such as Zubby Michael, Mike Ezuruonye, Shan George and his son Yul Edochie took to Instagram to celebrate the movie legend.
