Hanks Anuku, a veteran Nollywood actor, has revealed that he began drinking due to depression.
The actor responded to rumours that he grew seriously addicted to drugs with a video.
It’s no longer news that Anuku has been a topic of recent drug-related rumours, because of his scary new appearance.
However, the actor unequivocally declared that he doesn’t use narcotics in a video posted to his Instagram story. He went on to say that he had turned to alcohol for comfort when he was depressed.
Anuku’s depression is a result of the struggles he is facing. He displayed a plot of land he bought in Abuja for his film school in the video, but he has struggled to raise the necessary finances, so the site has been left fallow for years.
The actor was upbeat about God’s favour as well, saying that everyone will gain when God eventually gives assistance to him.
He said, “I have a film academy coming up, and I am here on the land where I want to build the film academy; it has been left fallow for years.
“I want you all to know that I know my depression causes me to drink a little, but I don’t do drugs. Out of depression, I didn’t have a job for years.
‘‘ I was thinking about my children, their school fees, their welfare, and other things, and you know what it is like when it gets to that point. I call it a breaking point. I was broken to pieces, and I had to go drinking, and that was it. I am just depressed because I don’t have funds to lift myself and my projects.”
