Actor IK Ogbonna courted controversy when he sat down to a chat with Saturday Beats, where he said that he would not play any gay role. I mean, gay roles have never really been an issue in Nollywood, but whaddaeck, just in case any director is eyeing an actor for one such role, he just wants to get it out there that he’d never be interested.
He says:
“I have never done a gay movie in my life and I would never do such whether internationally or locally. There are certain things I don’t support and would never support and homosexuality is one of them. Inasmuch as people are free to be who they want to be, I mean God gave us all free will, so who am I to judge? I would accept you for who you are but I would not encourage certain things. I would not be on platforms to encourage these kinds of things. It does not mean that I would judge you or discriminate against you but I would not be a part of such.”
wow! Congrats pinky your new website looks amazing! Just that posts from different dates are all jumbled up making it confusing!
So he’s gay too? Him, D Banj, Mr. Ideal, D’ Prince and Mr Universe Nigeria
Blergh
Maybe he should learn to act first before worrying about what roles he wants to play or not. KMT
This dumbo that cannot act to save his life? Mstchew!
Pinky the site is amazeballs
This one that cannot act to save his life is also talking. Abeg Iyke, stick to what works for you or better still, swerve enter gutter! Ode!
most answers you see in interviews are responses to questions. he was asked & he answered. even if he’s gay and/or can’t act to save his life, is he not entitled to his preferences? read again, he said he has no problem with gays, just that he won’t act a gay role.
Biko who is dis one? Dude be famzing…horrible actor at that. Scarraway from here!
Mcheeeeeww….. Foolish annoying boy
Nice upgrade, pink is cute.
Well he doesn’t want to have an erection while acting one, there by outing himself and ruining his plans to finalise his European green card. Lets cut the girl some slack
WTF?! This splash of pink dikwa egwu. LOL. Welcome back man 😉
i just fainted!!!
The thing is tiresome. Just because he said he won’t take a gay role he is now ugly,dumb,hypocrite and all. All this coming from a people who have “suffered” long years of intolerance for being different. Okay
LOL. Okwa nno ‘splash of pink’ lol.
Thanks, man. 😀
Thank you, Zeus.

He need to have acting chops first. Even though he doesn’t have ish with sexual preferences.

madam ogbonna so after Bromancing Alex finish you go come open your mouth and say “There are certain things you don’t support and Homosexuality is one of them”

‘Straight people can play gay roles; and gay people can play straight roles. That’s the whole point of being an actor. To be able to transform…(Reese Witherspoon)
Now we know the difference between Hollywood actors and Nollywood actors…anyways, that’s by the way. He should keep staying irrelevant.
I like this pink theme.. Pretty
What a ground-breaking piece of information. Duly noted
