His comments come on the back of revelation my son of media personality Kwasi Kyei Darkwah (KKD), Darkwah Kyei-Darkwah, that he is gay.
“It won’t stop me from acting gay in movies. At the end of the day, it’s my job as an actor to be able to bring life to a character scripted in a movie, to an understanding," he told Hitz FM.
“The fact that I play gay in movies doesn’t make me gay. I’m not gay and everybody that’s close to me knows that I’m one hundred percent straight. I don’t have anything against homosexuals or whoever that chooses to be what they are. The fact that people are coming out to say they’re gay or the fact that gay issues are coming out lately doesn’t stop me from acting,” he said.
He also asked Ghanaians to stop judging people because of their sexual orientation.
According to him, some people were born gays, others grew up with it and some fell victim to it.
“I think God wrote somewhere in the Bible or the Qur’an that we shouldn’t judge ourselves or humans. They are gays; they choose to be who they are. Some were born with it, some grew up with it, some fell victim to maybe someone who took advantage of them and they also decided to live up to it.
“The thing is we don’t know the circumstances they found themselves in or what made them do what they’re doing. So we’re not in the right position to judge them and it doesn’t mean I’m supporting them. My religion is against it, Christianity is against it and we humans are also against it but, do we sit back sometimes and ask ourselves about the sins we commit,” he noted.]

The actor added that: “We’re not gays or lesbians but we commit some sins that are much worse than being gay. So we are not to judge them for what they choose to be, it’s up to God to judge them on judgment day. I have a lot of friends who are homosexuals and bisexuals and I don’t prevent them from coming close to me. So long as you know your limit and who you do those stuff with, I don’t have a problem.”
