Ghanaian actor, Umar Krupp<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\nActor, Umar Krupp, says he will not be deterred from picking up gay roles in movies.<\/p>\n
His stance follows a recent revelation by Darkwah Kyei-Darkwah, son of popular broadcaster, Kwasi Kyei Darkwah (KKD), about being gay in a digital magazine, intomore.com.<\/p>\n
Darkwah Kyei-Darkwah\u2019s revelation has sparked a debate, especially on social media with a section of the public condemning gays while others expressed support for homosexuals.<\/p>\n
In an interview with Hitz FM\u2019s Noella Kharyne Yalley, Umar who is mainly known for his roles as a homosexual in movies like \u2018House of Gold\u2019 and \u2018Amakye and Dede\u2019 said:<\/p>\n
\u201cIt won\u2019t stop me from acting gay in movies. At the end of the day, it\u2019s my job as an actor to be able to bring life to a character scripted in a movie, to an understanding.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe fact that I play gay in movies doesn\u2019t make me gay. I\u2019m not gay and everybody that\u2019s close to me knows that I\u2019m one hundred percent straight. I don\u2019t have anything against homosexuals or whoever that chooses to be what they are. The fact that people are coming out to say they\u2019re gay or the fact that gay issues are coming out lately doesn\u2019t stop me from acting,\u201d he said.
\nThe actor, who was one of the finalists selected to represent Ghana in the Spirited Actor reality show held in the United States, also urged the public to refrain from judging homosexuals.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think God wrote somewhere in the Bible or the Qur\u2019an that we shouldn\u2019t judge ourselves or humans. They are gays; they choose to be who they are. Some were born with it, some grew up with it, some fell victim to maybe someone who took advantage of them and they also decided to live up to it.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe thing is we don\u2019t know the circumstances they found themselves in or what made them do what they\u2019re doing. So we\u2019re not in the right position to judge them and it doesn\u2019t mean I\u2019m supporting them. My religion is against it, Christianity is against it and we humans are also against it but, do we sit back sometimes and ask ourselves about the sins we commit,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n
The actor added that: \u201cWe\u2019re not gays or lesbians but we commit some sins that are much worse than being gay. So we are not to judge them for what they choose to be, it\u2019s up to God to judge them on judgment day. I have a lot of friends who are homosexuals and bisexuals and I don\u2019t prevent them from coming close to me. So long as you know your limit and who you do those stuff with, I don\u2019t have a problem.\u201d<\/p>\n
