I am not getting movie roles because of 2012 NDC campaign - Mr Beautiful
One of Ghana’s most celebrated actors, Mr.
Beautiful says several movie producers especially
the Kumasi-based ones have decided not to feature
him in their movies because he campaigned for the
National Democratic Congress (NDC) during the 2012
presidential elections.

The star actor, known in private life as Clement
Bonney, says the fact that he mounted the
party’s campaign platforms to endorse the
candidature of John Mahama has made Kumasi based
movie producers treat him as an outcast.

Ever since he made that move, Mr. Beautiful said
he has not had a single role to play in any of the
local movies, especially those produced in the Twi
language.

In an interview with “News-One”, Mr.
Beautiful, as he is popularly known and called by
most Ghanaians, expressed serious reservations
about the fact that producers in the local movie
industry, especially those in the Ashanti region
have decided not to feature him in any of their
movies.

This, he said was because they tagged him as a
member of the NDC for which reason they don’t
want to give him roles to play. Ashanti region is
the stronghold of the opposition New Patriotic
Party (NPP).

“They are not calling because they say the
movies are bought in Kumasi, Koforidua and Sunyani
so when they feature me in their movies and they
take it to the market, the people say I’m NDC so
they won’t buy and that is why they are not
calling me”, he narrated.
