Prince David Osei, a Ghanaian actor and film director, explains why he chose not to pursue Hollywood possibilities.
According to him, the LGBTQ+ community is well-represented in Hollywood, and if you succumb to their sexual advances, these gay men will help you advance in your acting career.
In an honest interview with Accra FM’s Nana Romeo, the famed actor described an interaction with a Hollywood director who promised him a boost in his acting career if he engaged in unwelcome sexual advances.

“Some of the people I met that were in the business, some of them were on the other side. And I’m a very straight person. From conversations, you notice they are on a totally different path from mine, and so I told them to take their Hollywood. I’m not interested.
“It discouraged me because that was what I saw from the very beginning. Those were the people all over anytime we went for priemere and Q&As after the movies,” he said.
Recounting an incident at a Los Angeles event, the producer described how a Mexican Latino complimented his physique before making unwanted personal attempts in a crowded situation.
The actor, known for his forthright attitude, reacted quickly and punched the person who grabbed him.
“At a point he (Mexican Latino) put his hand on my shoulder but I didn’t read much into it. But later, when the place got crowded, I felt someone press my bottom. Reflexively, I turn around and punched him. When that happened, they all asked: ‘What’s going on? And I said ‘he just touched my bum’. They started laughing.
“I told them: No, you don’t touch me inappropriately. After a while, the guy who touched me pulled aside and told me, ‘Well, if you really want to excel here, you need people like me. You need people like us. We run the show here. I got that into my head,” David Osei said.
The further actor noted that when he returned to his hotel, he told himself, “I can’t pay this price. No, it is not worth it.”
