Why I stopped searching for my British dad – Shan George

Shan George

The Cross River State-born actress, Shan George, who had her movie debut in ‘Thorns of Rose’ in 1997, has been married twice and has two sons, but she says she can’t stop wondering how her father looked.

The 43 year-old half-caste actress revealed to Showtime Celebrity in an interview saying, ‘I wish I knew my father. I’m the only child of my mother, and my father was a White man. My mum is a very wonderful person, but I guess there is always going to be that part of me that keeps wondering who my father is. I tried several years to trace his whereabouts all to no avail’.

 ‘Consequently, I travelled to Manchester in search of the man that fathered me. But my mission was not accomplished. I gave up hope of meeting my father at the age of 35.’
