The alleged burnt Nollywood actor speaks out at last, talks with Diamond Celebrities (Must read)

It is heartbreaking and silly what people can do just to get attention in the name of fame…

Few days ago, someone from the movie production team sent out a story and a video of actor Ani Iyoho burning on movie set to all the sites and blogs, with the aim to alert the people that the producers and director after the actor got burnt, disappeared. Diamond Celebrities team ran into panic and took it personal as the actor involved is a friend of the family.

However, before we went public, we put all efforts to reach the actor and the producers via their phone, Facebook, Black Berry and Whatsapp, but to no avail. He’s long silence made us came to conclusion that he is indeed hospitalized as the tone of the message made believe.

Yesterday, the actor reached out to us with the message that he is fine, but we weren’t convinced, so we required for a video which he sent to us this morning.

Here is our short chat with the actor;

DC: Did you encounter any injury at all?

Ani:  None at all. I’m perfect. The makeup was handled by Dorothea Kwofie and she’s the best in Nigeria. She assured me and kept in touch for months with Hollywood practitioners to achieve that stunt. She’s really good.

DC: But did the extinguisher worked?

Ani : Actually we had 5 of them, a fire service truck, water from a stream, an Anti fire suit, and anti fire gel rubbed all over me. Plus there was sand by the road side… beach sand. Only one of the extinguishers failed.

DC: We worried more about the video and not the photos. The video is very real, why did it take you so long to reply?

Ani:  Many did. I’m trying to respond to all. My phone wasn’t turned on or with me.

While we are on it, we put no blame on the actor, but we can only say, wow! at what people can do for publicity. But tomorrow, if sure a thing happens for real, we may also take it as a stunt.

Watch the stunt and the real video below:
