Veteran Ghanaian actress Julie Juu has openly discussed her move to the UK, calling it one of the most rewarding choices she has ever made. Known for her role in the popular TV series ‘Cantata,’ Julie Juu has been residing and working in the UK for over a decade.
At a recent Party in the Park event in the UK, she recounted her journey, revealing that her initial visit was intended to see her children, whom she had missed during significant life events like their graduations due to personal circumstances.
Julie Juu explained that the warm reception and unwavering support from her children during her visit provided her with a sense of comfort, especially as she was mourning her husband’s unexpected death. Her decision to relocate was influenced by her desire to be close to her family during this challenging time.
She noted that her children and other loved ones have been exceptionally attentive, covering all her needs from food and housing to insurance. Reflecting on her life in the UK, she shared that the support she receives has been pivotal in her well-being.
“I found immense comfort in my children’s company after my husband, Nana Bosomprah, passed away. Coping with such a loss is incredibly hard,” Julie Juu said. “Being with them brought me so much joy that I decided to make the UK my home.”
She expressed no regrets about her decision, stating that if she had stayed in Ghana, she might have struggled more with aging and health. “Even if I stopped working now, my children would ensure I’m well taken care of,” she added during her interview with Zionfelix, which has been shared on Instagram.
Julie Juu also highlighted the stark contrasts between her life in Ghana and her current life in the UK, emphasizing the comfort and ease she now enjoys. She made a trip back to Ghana last year to mark a decade of her life abroad.
