Ghanaian preacher and Kumawood actor, Apostle John Prah
Ghanaian preacher and Kumawood actor, Apostle John Prah, has shared the challenges he faces in balancing acting with his spiritual life.
In an interview on ‘Okukuseku the Talk Show’ with Emelia Brobbey on January 13, 2025, the actor opened up on the temptations he usually faces on set due to the nature of some of his roles.
He explained that while these challenges can be difficult, he has learned to overcome them.
“It’s sometimes scary. One thing that disturbs me on set is being seduced, but I told myself there were crew members in the same room, so there was nothing I could do. It used to disturb me, but I’ve learned to handle it,” he said.
Apostle Prah further stated that when he is given roles that involve physical intimacy, particularly with female actors, he often refuses to participate.
“When I’m given a role where a woman is supposed to touch me, I mostly don’t agree. Some of the ladies are very beautiful and seductive, and it’s hard to resist. Thankfully, the women who play these roles with me are understanding and avoid being too explicit, unlike they would be with a regular actor,” he added.
Apostle Prah, narrating some experiences regarding his working relationships with colleagues, also revealed instances of disappointment with individuals he has helped in the past who failed to appreciate his efforts.
“You have to be careful with people, or else they’ll disappoint you. I’ve had experiences where I tried to groom some young people, and they were very wicked. It’s heartbreaking because I spent time and resources helping them, but they didn’t respect me. Despite these past experiences, I still believe in helping others, but with caution,” he said.
