Nigerian actor Uzor Arukwe opened up about the most shocking rumor he’s ever heard about himself, which left him stunned.
In a recent interview, the talented actor revealed that there had been speculation about his sexuality, with some claiming he is gay.
According to Uzor, the rumor caught him completely off guard, and he was even more shocked when photos of another man were posted online, falsely claiming the person was his partner.
However, rather than respond to the allegations with anger or defensiveness, Uzor admitted that the news actually excited him a little, because, those kinds of accusations usually come when someone is becoming successful.
He went on to express his support for the LGBTQ+ community, saying he has many gay friends and respects them, but firmly clarified that the rumor about him is untrue.
“The worst rumour I have heard about myself is that I am gay, and that shocked me to my bones. I was excited to because I heard that when they start saying those things, you’re blown. So I have a lot of gay friends and I love them. I am not going to agree to something that I am not. If it’s my sexuality, I would own it and I’d be one of the hottest ones around, I would owe it to with my chest.” He said
