Jim Iyke is Learning to Calm Down! He takes Anger management classes

Getting angry is normal, letting anger get the best of you is not. Good to know the troubled Actor has finally come to realise this. Jim Iyke in a recent interview revealed that he's taking anger management lessons, to make him look better to the public and bring back the "good guy" image, I guess. Lol. The "hot-headed" Actor who recently hit back at taunts from fans following the launch of his Untamed closet and the N15million fraud charge against him (he was later pronounced not guilty of the charges) has been involved in several assault cases in the past.

"I will not disrespect you by lying about the fact that I do get into one or two brushes with people here and there. I will not give any excuse that I have never been that kind of person. I am taking an Anger Management Session now; it was advised not only by my fiancée, but also by my agent. It is a very interesting session for my well-being. One thing about our society is that we have not accepted celebrities with their whims and caprices. An actor is allowed to be eccentric. There is a thin line between the person you see on stage and the real actor. A lot of people do not understand that. I'm not perfect and I'm taking steps to deal with my imperfections" - Jim Iyke

Wow! We can't wait to see the new "cool-headed" Jim Iyke!!
