Nollywood actor Clemson Cornell Agbogidi has recounted an experience he said occurred while working with veteran actress Liz Benson on a movie set.
According to Agbogidi, Benson became uncomfortable with his portrayal of a native doctor and subsequently declined to continue with the scene.
“Liz Benson ran away and refused to act after what I did on set! She said they brought a real native doctor to act with her,” he said.
Agbogidi also discussed traditional African religious practices, arguing that people who practised indigenous religions before the spread of Christianity should not necessarily be considered evil.
“Before Christianity, Our Forefathers Were There. Most Of Those Who Worshipped Idols Were Not Evil.”
His comments have generated reactions on social media, with some users discussing his acting abilities and his portrayal of traditional characters.
Reacting to the claim, @IykeNwaObi wrote: “He is really a great actor and he interprets his roles very well. Mummy Liz had to run for her life. 😁😁 oh great nollywood world.”
