I've stopped going to church because they used to refer me to Sunday school — Don Little

Ghanaian actor Don Little has revealed that he no longer attends church services due to experiences he had in the past where he felt singled out due to his small stature.

Speaking at an event, Don Little, who is known for his unique voice and small stature, said that whenever he used to go to church, he would be asked to join the Sunday school instead of being allowed to sit with the adult congregation.

Don Little, who began his acting career in 2008 but broke out in 2017 in the popular TV series "Efiewura", said he felt embarrassed by that treatment.

"Whenever I went to church, they will sack me to Sunday school. That is the reason why I don't go to church anymore. I am not a kid. I am the only one in my family who God made this way," the actor said.

In a related news, the actor recently recounted an unfortunate experience of being denied entry into a nightclub in the UK due to concerns over his height.

He had travelled to the United Kingdom with some friends hoping to unwind at a nightclub one evening.

However, upon arrival at the entrance, the security guard mistook the 27-year-old for a child.

“My friends suggested various nightclubs, so we decided to give it a try," Don Little told Accra-based TV3's Showbiz 360 host Giovanni Caleb.

“The security guard questioned me, asking
'Hey little boy, where is your mom?” Don Little revealed.

Despite his friends vouching for him, the guard remained unconvinced due to the actor's short stature.

"He ignored me, nearly causing an uproar. He warned that the police would be called for my arrest," added the pint-sized actor.

Fearing an escalation, Don Little and his friends opted to return home instead of risking potential trouble with authorities.

“I questioned if he recognized my stature back home, but he ignored me," Don Little lamented, highlighting the discrimination people like him often face due to factors beyond their control.
