Jim Iyke also recounted how he once received a script along that line from a producer but immediately rejected it.
Nigerian actor Jim Iyke has revealed why he chased a movie producer with machete.
This is as he maintained that he will never play gay roles in any Nollywood production.
According to him, he chased the producer with machete for bringing a script that wanted him to play such a role.
He said: “I can’t roll with the gay guys, I’m sorry. I can’t wear skirt for nobody, I’m sorry. I know there’s a whole community, you know. I salute you guys, to each his own. We’re too much mill to get it twisted, yeah. The last producer that sent me his script along that line… the last… I located that guy with a machete.
Immediately he saw me, he took off. I said, keep running, keep running, keep running. So, they’re trying to reach a wider spectrum of audience and, of course, the community in question will not, you know, okay or give them a nod of approval if you don’t touch on subjects that are sensitive to them.”
