Nigeria Entertainment News Today Headlines: David Oyelowo’s Wife Struggled At First Christmas Dinner In Nigeria
David Oyelowo has revealed in a British TV interview, how his wife, Jessica, struggled to eat spicy food during her first Christmas celebration with his family in Nigeria. She’s not a fan of spicy food, according to the ‘Selma’ actor.
Oyelowo’s parents moved to the U.K. from Nigeria before he was born but he has taken Jessica back to Nigeria to spend the holiday season with his family in the past. However, she wasn’t used to the type of food she ate as it’s different to the roast turkey Brits traditionally enjoy on Christmas Day.
“A Nigerian Christmas tends to be more jollof rice and fried plantain but everything is just drenched in spices and pepper,” the “Selma” star tells U.K. chat show host Jonathan Ross.
“In a bid to impress my parents, my wife Jessica came over and I know she can’t do spice but she was so keen to impress my mum she went for it. I have never seen someone sweat so much and go as red and yet keep going.”
David lives with his wife in Los Angeles but she won’t be spending Xmas in Nigeria as they will do so in the U.K.
