Stop giving old men’s<br />
roles to young actors<br />
— Paa George<br />
VETERAN GHANAIAN actor,<br />
George Appiah Kubi, popularly known<br />
as Paa George, has advised Ghanaian<br />
producers to consider emulating the<br />
Nigerian film industry when it comes<br />
to old men’s roles in movies.<br />
The 81-year-old actor, is not particularly<br />
enthused about some Kumawood<br />
producers who choose young and upcoming<br />
actors over ‘experienced’ old<br />
actors in the industry for old people’s<br />
roles.<br />
He made the point on the sidelines<br />
of the final funeral rites of late actor,<br />
Asonaba Kweku Darko, popularly<br />
known as ‘Super OD’ in Agona<br />
Abodom last weekend.<br />
“You only become an<br />
adult if you want. Nigerian<br />
producers don’t recruit<br />
young guys for old men<br />
roles. They use their old experienced<br />
actors. Here,<br />
young guys dye their hairs<br />
the colour white and they<br />
are good to go…” he<br />
lamented.<br />
He noted that these<br />
same young guys charge<br />
higher than the old guys so<br />
producers should focus on<br />
people like him if they want<br />
“experienced” old-aged actors<br />
in their movies.<br />
“The young men charge<br />
a lot of money; it’s some of<br />
the producers who have<br />
made these things a habit.<br />
It’s really disturbing and<br />
painful. We the old men<br />
need to be featured in movies. The<br />
Nigerians are not neglecting theirs. We<br />
should do the same…” he advocated.<br />

her co-actresses not to give in to<br />
demands of men for exchanging sex<br />
for fame.<br />

if you are talented, there will be no<br />
need to sell your body because, “only<br />
God can make you famous.”<br />

to go naked to prove your talent. It is<br />
only God that can make you famous.<br />
We can use my career as an example.<br />

are greedy wanting to lead the competition.<br />
Don’t let someone sleep with<br />
you for a position. Go through the<br />
hard way…”<br />
