Kanayo O. Kanayo Claims He Outworks Denzel Washington
Veteran Nollywood actor Kanayo O. Kanayo believes that succeeding in the Nigerian film industry demands hard work, energy, and dedication.
Speaking on the Honest Bunch podcast, Kanayo asserted that he works harder than Hollywood star Denzel Washington.
Kanayo compared his roles to those of Hollywood actors like Arnold Schwarzenegger, saying that challenging roles don’t make bad actors.
He emphasized that Nollywood actors, including himself, put in significant effort to create quality films.
“If Denzel Washington put in the number of hours I do, his color would turn to charcoal the next day,” Kanayo remarked, highlighting the intense workload in Nollywood.
He also recalled how Americans from New York studied Nollywood in 1992 and were amazed by the effort and skill involved. According to Kanayo, these Americans coined the term “Nollywood” after observing the dedication of Nigerian filmmakers.
“They saw our zeal and hard work,” Kanayo said, underscoring the commitment required to thrive in Nollywood.
Nollywood actor Timini Egbuson has cleared the air on claims that he’s a womaniser, saying the rumor doesn’t reflect his reality. Speaking on a recent episode of The Culture League podcast alongside footballer Victor Boniface and comedian Bovi, the 38-year-old actor said his lifestyle doesn’t leave room for such assumptions to be true.
“A lot of people think I’m out here chasing women, but I’m really not,” he said. “For the past two to three years, I’ve been single and buried in work. Nollywood has completely taken over my life. Unless someone is completely unserious, there’s no way you can handle that much filming and still have time to juggle multiple relationships.”
He admitted he often wonders how some of his friends manage to date several women while still keeping up with work. “Imagine finishing a long day on set, getting home tired around 11 pm, and then having to start entertaining chats. I honestly don’t have the energy for that,” he added.
Timini said he’s not offended by the public’s perception of him. In fact, he finds the “bad boy” label amusing and has no problem letting people believe what they want.
