Actor Mr. Beautiful to campaign for Mahama again in 2016

Popular Kumawood actor, Mr. Beautiful says attempts by some movie producers to sideline him from the movie industry will not deter him from campaigning for President John Mahama in the 2016 elections.

According to the actor, known in private life as Clement Bonney, since he campaigned for the National Democratic Congress (NDC) during the 2012 presidential elections, movie producers especially the Kumasi-based ones have decided not to feature him in their movies.

Speaking on Adom FM's entertainment show, Entertainment Hall hosted by Mike 2, Saturday, Mr. Beautiful revealed that he has not regretted campaigning for President John Mahama.

He stressed that he will still campaign for President Mahama come 2016. “I'm an NDC man and I have printed out my own T-shirt to campaign for John Mahama in 2016.”

He added that if some producers in Kumasi have decided to end his acting career abruptly because of his party affiliation then they have reduced the quality of entertainment to Ghanaians because he made a lot of Ghanaians develop love for Ghanaian movies.

“Mr. Beautiful is a multi-talented actor and in Ghana there are only four multi-talented actors/actress; Nana Ama McBrown, Akrobeto, Majid Michel and myself (Mr. Beautiful),” he claimed.

According to him, there are other actors/actresses who can never play any other role apart from the roles they are known for. For example, “Agya Koo and Mr. Ibu cannot act any other serious role in movies apart from comedy,” he said.

The actor revealed that he has never been featured in any movie since 2012 but lives a good life. “I have my own infinity car and have my family so I have no worry.”

Mr. Beautiful disclosed that a renowned mobile phone dealer, MC phone near Odo Rice at Circle in Accra gave him GH�100,000 to start a movie but he returned the money to the man and said “God has not told me to produce movies and if I should do it, the movie producers will sabotage me and it will be costly.”

He recalled an instance where radio personality, Fiifi Banson, tried to persuade some movie producer to reconsider featuring him in movies.

According to him, Jackson Bentum, a producer, stated bluntly that he (Mr. Beautiful) is a member of the NDC so his movies will not sell in Kumasi because most of these producers are members of the New Patriotic Party (NPP).

“If Kumasi movie producers have rejected my movies because of my party affiliation, I am doing a feasibility study to act and market my movies in Accra rather than in Kumasi,” Mr. Beautiful stated.
