Awards-winning Ghanaian actor, Prince David Osei has urged Ghanaians to love and appreciate talents in the country.

According to him, it’s about time Ghanaians began supporting their own rather than using Nigerian stars as benchmark in the showbiz industry.

Prince is certain that if Ghanaians develop the habit of supporting and loving each other’s

talents, it will promote the industry.

He further added that Ghanaians will stop finding faults with local acts altogether because they are good at their acts.

“In Ghana we don’t really appreciate our own and support our own, that is the hallmark of the whole problem. If we celebrate our people and appreciate the talents God has given to this nation, it will go a long way to encourage people to go beyond being a star in Ghana and looking beyond,” he stressed.

In a telephone interview on Accra based Hitz FM, the actor revealed how on his visits to Africa’s most populous nation, Nigerians appreciate and love Ghanaian talents.

He also noted that even some Nigerians wish to shoot movies with Ghanaian actors and actresses.

“When we meet head to head, they are afraid. They go like Ghanaians are intelligent, Ghanaians speak good English, Ghanaian movies… some of them will love to come to Ghana, to them it’s a big deal to come and film in Ghana with Ghanaian actors and actresses.”

Prince David Osei said although Nigerians adore Ghanaian talents, they don’t discourage their own.

“They adore Ghanaian talents and appreciate us too much…, (but) they also appreciate their people and don’t just condemn their own.”

The talented actor also admitted that Nigerians are making impacts globally because of their ambitious nature.

“Nigerians are naturally aggressive to success, they will do anything to succeed… Nigerians are very ambitious, everywhere you go Nigerians are making impacts,” he said.

Prince David further stressed that there are a lot of good talents out there but because they

don’t get the necessary support, they are forced to go out somewhere to be accepted.

The debate as to whether the local movie industry, Kumawood is dead or not continues almost each day.

Many,including some of the industry’s players have come out to say that yes indeed, the industry in dead.

Others on the other hand are also vehemently against referring to the industry as dead.

But whatever the case is, we all know that we no longer hear nor see this movie part one and two anymore.

Well, that was one main character about these kumawood movies, they’re mostly in parts.

Another sure way to know the stance of the industry is with this latest release of Anas’ work, Number 12.

Formerly, by now, we would have been hearing, ‘Kwesi Awuo oo’ parts one and two, or yet still, ‘GFA Amanehunu Kese3′ or even some other hilarious titles on radio or TV by now.

But none of this is happening. No Kumawood producer has up to now released any movie in relation to Anas’ latest expose’.

Perhaps, Ghallywood actor, Prince David Osei has also taken into consideratio all these facottrs and has made his conclusion about the industry.

According to the actor, Kumawood movie industry surely looks DEAD to him from where he stands.

Besides, we just brought the Golden Movie Awards to an end, an indication that movies are flowing in from all other industries.

We however, cannot remember the last time we heard of Kumawood Movie Award, which only means one thing.

Speaking on Hitz FM on Monday, the actor disclosed that, stakeholders in the Kumawood sector have refused to be aligned with modernity with regards to going digital.

“There are great movies from the English industry so I don’t see where the problem is here. If the Kumawood people are saying someone was going to invade their space, from where I stand right now, it looks like Kumasi Movie industry is DEAD… That’s the truth. He said.

“Producers call me and say, they are unable to sell one thousand (1,000) DVD copies and the reason why this is happening is not because someone is trying to invade in anybody’s space but the truth is that the world is moving, things are changing and they need to speed up.

Right now, nobody buys DVD, we live in a digital world where people watch movies online, you need to get a platform where people can view your movies. It’s no longer getting guys in traffic to sell DVDs. It’s all about marketing.”Prince Osei added.

Prince David further stated that the Glamour Movie sector is currently doing more movies on societal issues and comedy. Thus, after they considered that fact movie freaks have complained about same love and drama story lines from the English speaking producers.

“People talk about the English speaking movies going down but it will amaze you to know that the English Movie industry has really picked up at a very fast pace. You’ve no idea of the kind of movies coming out this year. Personally, when I got back to Ghana in March, I’ve shot about six movies and I keep shooting.

“Maybe story-wise, people have become fed-up with the normal insults and they want different storylines and that is what happened to our English Movies, we lost it when we started telling just the love stories but right now we’ve moved on. We are tackling societal issues and doing more comedy movies. People are tired of serious drama and love movies.” He noted.

He also debunked the perceptions by many that there is no ‘beef’ between the Kumawood and Ghallywood industry.

According to him, “It’s perception but personally from my point of view, there’s nothing like that and we’ve been working together. Just that people have tagged the kind of movie to be Kumawood and ours to be the English speaking movies and that’s just the difference but there’s nothing like rivalry between the two industries.

“We’ve been doing collaborations together. Nana Ama McBrown seems to be one of the top superstars coming from Kumasi. She’s been doing movies with everyone. She did ‘Side Chic Gang’ with Lydia Forson and Sika Osei. I’ve done movies with Lil Win, Kwaku Manu and Van Vicker, Juliet Ibrahim have all done movies with most of the Kumawood stars.” He said.

Just some few years ago, a man would do anything to get a ‘pot belly’. This was because, pot bellies were seen as a sign of wealth and ladies loved men with it.

However, a visit to any gym these days shows even old men vigorously training for good health and most importantly, ‘six packs’.

Oh yea, the six pack guys are now reigning because the ladies have shifted their ‘love’ there. Just be a good looking guy with six packs. You’ll surely get that ‘ hot chick’ in your area your pot bellied friends have been trying without effort to have.

It’s almost like how the men these days prefer ‘curvaceous’ or endowed women. They want their women, even after birth to workout for slim waist and flat stomach.

Now both single ladies and married women expect their man to have a well- built body: six packs, flat stomach and some upper body muscle, just to show off.

The sad part is that, even most of the ladies still with the pot belly men are just there for the money which they’re also spending on their six pack guys. Funny right?

It’s therefore not surprising that actor and runway model, Prince David Osei has categorically stated that men with pot bellies risk being dumped for those with six packs.

According to him, women currently want men who are physically built and have been able to keep their shape and not men with pot bellies.

“As a man, while growing up you need to keep the shape together. The ladies now want men who have six packs and have been able to keep their shape together. They want to feel the cut behind your waist when they hug you if not your woman may leave you for a man who has it”. He told Nana Ama McBorwn on the latest episode of ‘McBrown’s Kitchen’ s TV show.

Awards-winning Ghanaian actor, Prince David Osei has opened up about his sexual life on Atuu with Abeiku Santana.

According to the actor cum model, he was a virgin until the year 2007 when he was compelled to have sex.

He stated that he broke his virginity out of peer pressure because his friends thought he was gay.

However, to prove to them that he wasn’t gay, he decided to have sex with his then girlfriend, who is now his wife.

“The first time I had sex was in 2007. I was a virgin by then and I did that with my wife, who was then my girlfriend.”

Prince David Osei’s responded to a question whether he led a promiscuous life before getting married to his wife.

Asked why he waited for that long, he explained that he comes from a humble home. As such, he made a covenant with God that he should make him a big person in the future and in return he would remain a virgin to fulfill the covenant. He however added that he had to break that covenant because of peer pressure from his friends who thought he was gay.

It is, however, not known if the wife was also a virgin at the time. However, Prince  reiterated that she is the love of his life and has never dated anyone in the movie industry.

“When I met my wife in 2003 at University of Ghana, I didn’t know that I will become an actor and it is the person I have been with. I have not dated anyone in the movie industry,” he added.

Touching on how many kids he has and the women he has had babies with, Prince David Osei said,

“I have three kids with the same woman I got engaged to in 2011.”

Award-wining Ghanaian actor, Prince David Osei has revealed that a friend nearly poisoned him in December last year.

Indeed, the Akan proverbs which says, “Aboa bi beka wo a, na ofiri wo ntoma mu”, which literally translates; ‘If an animal will bite you, it will be from your cloth’ is very true.

For the fact that this is not the first and probably will not be the last time we’ve heard of someone saying his/her friend has tried poisoning him/her before.

There have been countless times this has happened. Whiles some succeeded with their evil acts others too were caught just in time.

Prince David Osei was just one of the fortunate ones to have escaped such a malicious act from some so-called friends.

The actor was recounting the incident to Joy FM’s Lexis Bill on Behind the Fame on Drive Time.

Prince David Osei speaks;

“I was trying to hang out with some folks and I felt I was cool with them because I felt we were friends and we were hanging. Unknowingly, someone had the intention of poisoning my drink and I didn’t see it. It was the waiter who saw it and called me out,” he revealed.

“So when he called me, I didn’t really get it…he told me ‘be careful don’t drink anything on the table’ and I was like why. Then he said he can’t tell me” but later revealed that somebody had put something in my drink,” he added.

According to him, the waiter offered him something else to drink because he saw the person introduce the poison into the drink through his fingernail.

“I begged him [but] he said it was against the work ethic,” to reveal the identity of the person.

Prince David was however of a strong belief that the person tried to kill him out of jealousy. What else could it be?

He advised the public to be wary of the friends they keep, insisting not all close persons are loved ones. He also urged people to work on their talent and not be envious of others.
