Odunlade Adekola Opens Up on Acting Gay Role

Popular Nollywood actor Odunlade Adekola has opened up about the upcoming movie where he acted a gay man. The movie has quickly gained popularity on social media since the release of the trailer.

Speaking on his role he told LIB in an interview,  “I am not the one that produced the movie but it was directed by me. As a matter of fact, I played the lead role.. As a director, If you get any script, you just have to study/digest the script, understand what the demands are and know where to contribute. That is what I did.”

Some criticized him for the role, but the actor is unfazed.

“I haven’t really seen the criticisms from people and you know a movie is make believe. It is also done to correct a lot of impressions and make people understand more about certain topics. I haven’t seen anyone criticize me or any of my jobs (roles). Critics should take time to watch the movie, study it very well and understand what we are trying to say in the movie. We are preaching that what happened in the movie that made the lead actor (Odunlade Adekola) to be a gay man is not good. That’s the real message.”

 

“I love Nigerians and all who have supported the industry. I am not against anybody or trying to tackle or fight anyone,” Odunlade said.
