Popular Nigerian actor, Stan Nze has described risking his life for a movie role as stupidity.
The actor stated this while speaking about role interpretation in Nollywood.
Speaking with The Nation, Nze stated that it would be foolish of him to put his life at risk in a bid to become the best actor when there are stunt actors who are well paid to perform stunts in the movie industry.
He said, “Why would I risk my life jumping from a dangerous height in a movie? Jumping characters are done by stunt guys. That’s their job. They are called stunt actors who are well paid for such roles. They have the experience of how to jump and do other things.
“I’m not going to be foolish and jump a dangerous height just because I want to be the best actor in Africa, and the people go do one minute of silence and then move on, it is stupidity.
“I will only do the ones I’m meant to do, so that the stunt men can do their job too”.
