Actor Benson Okonkwo , who is called a gay rumors has come out again to deny it . According to him, he said he have a girlfriend .
In his Statement :
“ My girlfriend knows I am just being professional in doing my job. As for my family , I am from a free -thinking home.”
In a chat with Sunday Scoop Benson said :
“ I did not do Benson the Maniac to spur more homosexual rumours about myself , or to generate publicity . It was all about the script, and I was just playing a character who was homosexual, and I dare say , I played it well .
It is the fourth gay character I have played in my career , and though it was my movie , I did not write the script. The movie had a storyline and it passed a message across . Nigerians always want to live your life for you , and tell you what you should and should not do. If you play a character well , they automatically conclude that is your real personality .
Apart from acting as a homosexual, I have played lots of other roles in my career; why are people not talking about those? I am a versatile actor who can interpret any role , as long as it is make -believe .
I am a very daring person ; I don ’ t care what people think about me as long as they don ’ t put food on my table . A lot of people have tagged me as a ‘ gay actor ’ but that is just their opinion and I have never been accosted about my sexuality. I used to be very nice, but people used to take advantage of me, and now, I am just doing me.”
“ Only God can judge me; nobody else has the right to do that . If you judge me, you are a sinner because the Bible admonishes us not to judge. He that is without sin should cast the first stone, and I know that no one is clean .
On why he keeps being casted for homosexual roles, Okonkwo said , “ I do not know what they see in me . Maybe you should find out from them .”
