I Will Never Go Nude Or Play Same-Sex Roles On Screen – OC Ukeje

Award winning Actor, OC Ukeje has made it clear that he would never go nude or act a gay role even if it involves an Oscar.
 
In a recent interview with Ynaija, the Alan Poza movie star when asked if he will ever go nude in any movie said;

“It is just my personal value system and much as money is good and glory is great, at the end of the day, they are not everything. The most important thing is your own peace of mind and the ability to live with yourself afterwards. I may like to compare myself with my international counterparts, but the truth is, I was raised in a different culture. They are a lot more liberal.


”First of all, I don’t think anyone wants to see my black butt on screen because in the business of film making, aesthetics are very important. The picture has to be fine. Darker skinned people just do not play as well nude, on screen.

”I am not subscribing to any skin colour superiority but I think that in film, everyone wants a beautiful picture. For the last film I made, because I have spots on my back, the Director wanted me totally covered up so every time they needed me bare-chested, they used make up to cover all the spots. The percentage of open-minded people is very negligible. I was in ‘Hoodrush’ recently and when some promotional pictures were released, my hairy body was a big topic on the social media, with people insisting it was not a pretty sight. Because of that, I have learnt to shave down to my legs”

He further added that he can never play same sex roles.
