leaked onto the internet two years ago many fans
frowned upon it especially as scenes
showing respected actor, Tony Umez, having make-
believe sex in what was dubbed a soft porn
movie,
kept making the rounds.
Tony Umez who was one of the lead characters, has
finally come out to defend his roles in the explicit
movie that drew the chagrin of conservative
Nigerians. has broken his silence, claiming that there
was nothing like sex in the movie.
Speaking with HVP, the married actor said he never
had sex on set and everything was just make-believe.
He further revealed his wife didn’t feel some type of
way when she heard about the movie.
He was quoted as saying, “It wasn’t as if there was
sex all through the movie, but it was just an aspect of
a whole movie. It was a 2-hour movie, but people are
focusing on that particular scene. That scene just
happened, it wasn’t the whole movie and it wasn’t as
if there was sex on set. Everything was basically
make-believe. It was made to look real and people
believed in it too.”
Tony who expressed slight regret over the role said he
has learnt valuable lessons and has since moved on.
According to him, “…I should not just look at the
creativity embodied in a script, but I should also look
at the societal reaction to it. I don’t blame them
(Nigerians) because they have their own opinions
while I have mine. The movie generated a lot of
controversies when it was released. Some people
commended it while many others faulted the movie.
Like I always say, I have weathered the storm and I
have moved on.”
