Pete Edochie in a wheelchair at the airport: Fans react to shocking video.

The video, while unexpected, vividly emphasizes the inevitability of aging, demonstrating that even legends such as Pete Edochie are not immune to the affects of time. It depicts the painful reality of watching icons transform from invincible figures to ordinary people who must face the passage of time.

Legendary Nollywood actor Pete Edochie has created a wave of intrigue and anxiety among his fans after a riveting video of him being pushed in a wheelchair at an airport went viral.

The clip, shared on Sunday, February 2, by TikTok user @fearless.commando1, soon went viral and sparked broad comments, not only because of the veteran actor's appearance but also due to a hilarious yet unexpected twist.

In the footage, a fan appeared to confuse Pete with his son, actor Yul Edochie, as he was pushed through the airport.

Initially, the fan appeared to believe that the iconic Pete Edochie was unable to walk due to his advanced age, leading to the idea that he relied on a wheelchair for mobility.

The actual twist occurred seconds later, when Pete, much to the surprise of fans and netizens, rose up from his wheelchair and walked a short distance to his parked car.

The unexpected incident caused a whirlwind of comments online, with admirers expressing relief and astonishment.

Many ascribed his wheelchair use to the natural toll that aging may take, especially when negotiating the tiring and frequently hectic environment of airports.

This comes only weeks after the 77-year-old acting icon made headlines with a highly publicized trip to Delta State for a much-anticipated guest appearance at a large Christmas carnival.

He was invited to the bustling Benikrukru Town with fellow Nollywood heavyweights Patience Ozokwor and Nkem Owoh, where they were feted as distinguished celebrity guests.

Pete's appearance was nothing short of spectacular. A crowd of adoring fans, some of whom had waited hours, greeted him like royalty.

The crowd, overwhelmed with emotion, broke into enthusiastic cheers, their faces gleaming with sheer excitement and anticipation as they saw their cherished icon.
