Veteran actor, Kanayo O. Kanayo, has expressed his desire to continue acting even when he turns 90, voicing concerns about the industry’s decline due to untalented individuals, particularly women eager to act.
He emphasised that acting is an innate talent, not something that can be merely learned in Nollywood.
He also raised alarm over the increasing prevalence of drug abuse and homos3xuality in the industry, calling for a purge to restore professionalism.
In an interview with Nedu, Kanayo said: “Many girls are desperate to act. You don’t come to Nollywood to learn how to act. Acting is built. If it’s not in you, go and sell crayfish.
“Let us run some people out of the [movie] industry. I want a situation where at 70, 75, 80, 90, I will still be acting.”
With a career spanning over 40 years, Kanayo has appeared in over 200 movies, starting with “Living in Bondage” in 1992.
