Dennis Mugo, famous for his role as OJ in the Kenyan teen drama “Tahidi High,” played the character of the bad boy in the series and had an undeniable crush on Sarah Hassan. “Tahidi High,” an action-packed high school drama brimming with intrigue, love, interpersonal conflicts, and the typical battle of the sexes, truly came to life through their performances.
In his youth, Dennis Mugo garnered a substantial following, with all the girls vying for his attention. Despite various distractions, his star continued to ascend, marking him as one of the most promising actors of his time. However, an unexpected turn of events unfolded as he struggled to maintain a balance between his burgeoning acting career and his fast-paced social life. Regrettably, he spiraled into alcohol addiction, which nearly derailed his career.
In addition to his acting role, Dennis also contributed to the technical team of “Tahidi High” and worked as an assistant director on this popular TV drama show. In an interview with NTV, he disclosed that he parted ways with “Tahidi High” due to creative differences with the director. His dismissal came about due to moral concerns stemming from his recurrent failure to fulfill his duties because of his battle with alcoholism. He had been issued warning memos regarding his drinking problem, but these proved ineffective. His addiction escalated to the point where he would occasionally neglect his responsibilities, leading to his eventual dismissal from the show.
Regarding his age, a reliable source indicates that OJ is presently 37 years old.
Dennis’s personal life also made headlines. He tied the knot with Sarah Hassan, known as Tanya, only to later find himself in a romantic relationship with Diana Kiamba, who portrayed Isabel in “Tahidi High.” Unfortunately, his relationship with Diana was short-lived. OJ and Tanya had a son together.
Despite previously keeping his family life private, Dennis married his lovely wife, and the couple was blessed with a son named Ethan Mugo. This transition to becoming a husband and a father astounded many, given the earlier concerns about his alcoholism potentially derailing his life and career.
