Veteran Nollywood actor Kanayo O. Kanayo has expressed his desire to continue acting even when he turns 90.
In a teaser for an upcoming episode of The Honest Bunch podcast, co-hosted by Nedu, Husband Material, and Deit Cole, the 62-year-old actor lamented the influx of untalented individuals, especially women, who are desperate to act, which he believes poses a threat to the film industry.
“Many girls are desperate to act. You don’t come to Nollywood to learn how to act. Acting is in-built. If it’s not in you, go and sell crayfish,” Kanayo said. “Let us run some people out of the industry. I want a situation where at 70, 75, 80, 90, I will still be acting.”
Kanayo also claimed that drug abuse and homosexuality have infiltrated Nollywood.
Kanayo began his acting career in 1982 with productions by the Nigerian Television Authority. He made his film debut in 1992 with “Living in Bondage” and has since starred in over 200 movies.
