Veteran Nollywood actor Kanayo O. Kanayo has declared that he intends to work in the motion picture business till he is ninety.
The sixty-two-year-old actor revealed his goals in a sneak peek at a future Honest Bunch podcast episode.
Concerns about the “influx of untalented women” into Nollywood were also voiced by Kanayo.
The actor and producer did not mince words when discussing other issues plaguing the film industry, like drug abuse and homosexuality.
“Many girls are desperate to act. You don’t come to Nollywood to learn how to act. Acting is natural. If it’s not in you, go and sell crayfish,” Kanayo asserted.
He also highlighted the presence of drug use among actors and what he referred to as “unnatural” behaviours, specifically referring to homosexuality.
“For men who have unnatural… When I say unnatural in law, you should understand it to be when man dey sleep with man and all those things. (E dey happen for the industry?) Of course,” Kanayo remarked.
“Are you aware most artistes are on drugs?” he added, calling for a purge of certain elements from the industry. “I want a situation where at 70, 75, 80, 90, I will still be acting.”
