In the latest episode of With Chude, which was released on Friday, May 24, 2024, Arinze talked about his success in the Nollywood movie Silent Night (1996), which launched him to stardom for his portrayal of Black Arrow. However, he also discussed how playing the part of a bad boy damaged his psyche and forced him to give up acting.

There was a time I took a hiatus from acting when people were casting in that mould of bad boy, bad boy and it began to affect my psyche and all that,” Arinze said.

He also spoke to Chude for the first about his divorce from the popular actress, Anne Njemanze. I stayed out of marriage after the first one collapsed. I stayed out for like 12 years before I remarried,” he said.
