The thespian, whose Wikipedia information states that she’s 42 years old, stirred reactions after she took to social media on Sunday to celebrate her 35th birthday—Carolyn shared stunning photos of herself holding a giant 35 balloon to mark her new age.
She was tackled by a number of Nigerians on social media, including a movie producer who is acquainted with the actress, for allegedly lying about her age.
The producer claims Carolyna is four years older than she is, and yet she is claiming to be 35 years old when she is currently 38.
“Lol, Ekanem please. No be only 35. When i co- produced my first movie “foreign affairs” which you starred in, I was 18 and you were 22. I’m 38 today. Na Twitter people una go dey bobo like this,” the colleague wrote.
Another Twitter user, claimed Carolyna Hutchings has been claiming 35 since 2007.
Interestingly, the tweep’s comment caught the actress’ attention and she reacted.
“Your mother, the old witch, is the liar,” she tweeted in reply.
