Nigerian actor, Felix Ugo has revealed that he can play any role even if it involves acting as a gay man or kissing men in movies. This is despite homosegxwality being illegal in the West African nation.
Speaking in an interview , Felix Ugo stated that he can play any role given to him by the movie director which includes playing the role of a gay. He said although Nigeria frowns on homosegxwality and has not legalized it, acting as a gay in a movie does not qualify him to be one.
“Why would reject a movie role? I don’t reject roles. I love to see what I can do to every character that comes my way. I can play gay roles too; I am an actor; I was trained for that. Except the production is not ready to shoot.”
“I am open to playing any role on earth. Kissing a guy in a movie is also not out of the way; acting is my passion, so I’m committed to giving it my best. In Nigeria, homosegxwality is against the law; however, when I am on set, I assume a character that is not Felix anymore and do what I have to do.”
