Benson Okonkwo is a rising actor who
has arrived the scene like a fast train with bounty of goodies to offer. Since
his foray into the industry, the Enugu-based sexy actor has had honours looming
about him just as controversies would not steer clear enough from him. No
thanks, to the gay role he played in one of his most successful movies till
date "Pregnant Hawkers"
In a recent chat with Weekend
Groove, the actor opened another can of worms when he openly supported injection
of pornography into Nollywood movies, saying it makes the movies more real and
the sex scenes more believable
His words: "My dear, it's only
a movie and make-believe, you know. We watch movies like that in Hollywood.
Nigerians are hypocrites. I think pornography makes our movies more real. And
for that reason I am in support of it. If you take a good look at Hollywood
movies for example, you will notice that it is rampant and it means nothing to
them.
Its like acting normal roles, first
and foremost. It's a movie and you act exactly what is in your script. Or you
can say that you are interpreting the script given to you. And there are
restrictions, beside kissing and touching here and there. What we do in
Nollywood is not porn. Nigerian movies are not made for everyone, besides, the
regulatory body gives approval before such films are shown. Also there are age
restrictions to viewing such films"
When asked if he could marry a girl
who has exposed her nudity in a a sex scene, he retorted "Love is blind.
It can take you anywhere as long as the chemistry is there. So I can marry any
lady as long as the love is there. Yes, I can. And I am ready to spend my life
with her" he said.
Oh.....so no pornography in movies,no make believe? hmmmm
