Nollywood actor Don Richard has revealed a surprising and humbling health experience that began after he gave up smoking and drinking, habits he had maintained for years.
In a recent video, the actor shared that two years after embracing a healthier lifestyle, he unexpectedly fell seriously ill. The development came as a shock to him, especially since he had made the changes with the expectation of improving his health, not worsening it.
He disclosed that the illness was so severe it led to his hospitalisation, during which he underwent deep personal reflection. According to Don Richard, it was during those quiet hospital moments that he had a major realisation that many fatal illnesses, especially those that affect well-known individuals, often develop silently from within.
His experience has since sparked conversations online, with many reflecting on how lifestyle changes do not always guarantee immediate immunity from health challenges but remain crucial for long-term well-being.
