She understands what I do. She is comfortable with my role in \u2018Love for Rent\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The new movie, directed and produced by new entrant Mensavie-Ayivor Caleb Lucky, is based on Troy Bailey-directed \u2018Love Doesn\u2019t Cost A Thing\u2019 (2003) starring Nick Cannon, which was the remake of 1987\u2019s \u2018Can\u2019t Buy Me Love\u2019, starring Patrick Dempsey. It tells the story of Rent (Fred Johnson) struggling to make a breakthrough in the music scene but his only obstacle was the attacks of the reigning artiste, Ice (Eddie Watson) whose manageress, Love (Helen Asante) he needs to achieve his aim.<\/p>\n<p>After several confrontations, Rent gets an opportunity to meet Love and he seeks one thing, she should pretend to be his friend for some months to make him popular. There the intrigue begins as Love\u2019s artiste and lover, Ice swears to track Rent down. How a fake friendship turned into \u2018Love for Rent\u2019 is for movie enthusiasts to find out on April 23 when it would be premiered.<\/p>\n<p>Other cast includes Salma Mumim, Paulina Oduro, and a number of other rising actors.<\/p>\n<p>Fred Johnson is a Liberian but grew up in the United State. His parents took him to the States when he was two years old. He came to Ghana 7 years ago and landed an acting career.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cActing wasn\u2019t on the agenda. You know what I mean; I am more of a music person. I thought I will be more of a musician,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>His stint with Ghana\u2019s movie industry dates back to his appearance in TV-series \u2018Home Sweet Home.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>After, he had a role in \u2018Run Baby Run\u2019, which won several laurels including those at the African Movie Academy Awards and the Pan African Film Festival. Subsequently, he featured other movies including \u2018Friday Night\u2019, \u2018Gyapadie\u2019, \u2018Love For Rent\u2019 and others yet to be released.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe movie industry is far better than what it used to be. I can say that was why I wasn\u2019t too eager to enter into acting from the beginning. It wasn\u2019t glamorous and appetizing but now it is getting better,\u201d he said about the movie industry. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Read more from the original source: <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> \u2018Home Sweet Home\u2019 actor Fred Johnson has denied rumours that he is having problems with his fianc\u00e9e over his recent role with actress Helen Asante in a new movie titled \u2018Love for Rent\u2019. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-379781","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.0 -
