Benson Okonkwo, the controversial Nollywood actor who has acted as a “gay man” in three Nollywood movies/productions, during a chat with Saturday Beats, opened up about his sexuality and why he does the “gay role” effortlessly. The actor who is accused of being gay by fans for not just his roles but also his dress sense, speaking with Saturday Beats, said that, handsome men are most times accused of being gay in Nigeria.
When asked about the gay rumour, he said;
“I have talked about this gay issue endlessly and I am tired. People always accuse handsome men of being gay. I have played the role of being gay in three movies so maybe they are accusing me because I did justice to the roles. I am a versatile actor, so I was just being professional”.
When asked about the controversial photo he posted online, he said;
“I took the picture for a movie. I have been living with this allegation and it is not fair; God will judge the people judging me. Whoever thinks he has clean hands should cast the first stone.
“Let them keep talking, talk is cheap and free; rumours even make me more popular. I have my fans, people still love me regardless of what some others say”
“I feel people should dedicate more time and attention towards bettering their lives before trying to fix others’. The sky is wide enough for everyone to spread their wings and fly to whatsoever destination they choose to. Everyone with their cross to carry, so people need learn to mind their business and if they mean well for other people they care about, then there is a proper/ constructive way of doing such, not the bitterness and hypocrisies we find around today”
