The veteran actor explained the illness as one which could cause a person’s side of his face to droop.

He said:
“It comes like a stroke and sort of affects one side of your face and gives your face a droop,”

The talented actor revealed that the doctor told him it is incurable.

Mokeme said:
“The doctor said it was incurable. They had no cure because they didn’t know what causes it.”

Findings revealed that Bell’s Palsy is a condition that causes sudden weakness in the muscles on one side of the face.

In most cases, the weakness is temporary and significantly improves over weeks. Bell’s palsy may be a reaction to a viral infection. It rarely occurs more than once.
