Director of the award winning movie ‘Figurine’, Kunle Afolayan has said that, after using Ghanaian actress Lydia Forson in his new movie, he is ready to feature other Ghanaian actors but if only they will interpret the script as a Ghanaian.
He said the above in an exclusive interview with GhanaCelebrities.Com after a short press preview of his latest movie ‘Phone Swap’. “I’m not going to feature them, if they are not going to play Ghanaian”, he said when asked if he will consider using other Ghanaian actors.
Actress Lydia Forson is the first Ghanaian to be featured by the award winning director, and for the better part of the movie spoke her indigenous language; Twi. According to the director, that added a lot to the movie.
He said a Ghanaian acting as a Ghanaian depends on the story. “If I’m doing a story that involves a Ghanaian and a Nigeria or a cross boarder story, why will I want to play Ramsey Nouah [Jnr.] as a Ghanaian? Why will I want to play Majid [Michel] as a Nigerian? No, for me, it won’t sell, it won’t work that way.”

Graphic Showbiz caught up with some of our celebs to find out their memorable Val’s day experience  as well as how they intend to celebrate this year’s vals…
Check out what they said below…
Eazzy:
My best Valentine was with my first boyfriend in 2001. It was really exciting meeting my first love on Val’s day. He took me out to places – we went shopping, to see a movie and had dinner that night. I don’t think I have had a better Val’s day since then. I will be spending this year’s Val’s day with my mum since she is the only one in my life left in Ghana. I will take her out, buy her presents and make sure she really enjoys the day.
K.O.D:
I don’t need February 14 to express love to my loved one because I see it as any ordinary day. Valentine is a day people express love but I do it almost every day so I don’t see Val’s as any special day.
However, I have decided to cook for my wife and daughter on Val’s day and I am not expecting gifts from anybody.
Abdul Salam:
Seriously, I have no idea what Valentine is all about let alone celebrate it. But it will be a nice experience for the first time if someone takes me out on that day if i happen to be less busy.

Video + Photos At The ‘Celebrity Charity Bazaar’ Featuring Bola Ray, Nana Ama Anamoah, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah, Lydia Forson, Stay Jay, Rough N Smooth, John Dumelo, Bino And Others!

Last Saturday at the lobby of the Silver Bird Cinema and Lifestyle Store inside the Accra Mall, Joy FM’s Drive Time host, Bola Ray paraded Ghanaian celebrities in a charity dubbed ‘Celebrity Charity Bazaar’ to raise funds to create awareness for autism.

The event was organized by the Bola Ray Foundation and powered by Empire Entertainment with support from Creative Minds Outreach Buzz GH and Silver Bird Cinema. It was also to contribute to the Zeozougo classroom project of the SOS Children’s Village in the Northern Region of Ghana.

Out of the over 25 celebrities announced to make an appearance, a great chunk of them failed to woefully turn up. With flimsy excuses flying here and there, the autistic patients remained disappointed as they waited patiently for their ‘celebrities’ friends to show up and celebrate the day with them.

However,  KOD, TV3 Newscaster Nana Aba Anamoah, Joy FM’s Morning Show host, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah, hip life duo Rough N Smooth, actors John Dumelo and Lydia Forson, Stay Jay, new entrants into the music industry and dancer Bino as well as Nadjat of TV3 Mentor fame showed up.

The celebrities joined Bola Ray and family as they gave fans and autistic patients a day to remember. The celebrities sold movies tickets, popcorns, drinks, ice cream and a host of other services at the Silver Bird Lifestyle Store and Cinema. After, a basket was taken around as each celebrity put money in as their support for the project.

Fans also had photo opportunities with their favourite celebrities. The most interesting part of the event was when GhanaCelebrities.Com requested that, the celebrities and the autism patients should dance together. And what dance do they have in mind if not the ever loving and popular azonto?

The fierce ‘azonto’ competition was simply splendid. I know each of them picked up some ‘azonto’ lessons from each other.

As the fun went on, special sale of MAKSI Clothing went on with a percentage of sales going to the cause. Also there were special Kente and Christmas cards exhibition by the kids from the New Horizon Special School and the SOS Children’s Village.

After the event, one thing was certain; none of the celebrities who failed to turn up were missed and that was a fact. Below are pictures GhanaCelebrities.Com captured at the event. In case you see same people in the pictures, it’s because those people you call celebrities failed to shamefully turn up.

When they organize their own charity events and don’t get the support from their colleagues, I hope they won’t come out to play the ‘they don’t like me, they jealous me’ song else …

Lydia Forson Tries Her Hands On Writing! She Talks To GC About Her Latest Work ‘Masquerades’, A Hilarious Christmas Family Comedy Movie!

blank

There is something special about dark looking ladies who are gifted with enough flesh. I call it ‘enough substance’, for better want of a word. Bubbly Ghanaian actress Lydia Forson is one of such ladies who is blessed with ‘enough substance’ coupled with a dark skin and still looks confident, sweet and outspoken.

But what many people didn’t know about the 2010 Best Actress in Africa co-winner is the fact that, she is a promising writer. Lydia Forson co-wrote the script for ‘Masquerades’, a hilarious Christmas family comedy movie.

Why has she veered off to writing instead of concentrating on her acting career? Listen to her: “I did writing in school. I did creative writing in school. Unfortunately people don’t know that part of me. I love to write. I have been doing some kind of writing behind the scenes for some time now. I do script revision”, she confessed to GhanaCelebrities.Com.

‘Masquerades’ is a hilarious family comedy that explores today’s contemporary family life during Christmas. It is a movie with few casts – not relatively a serious story as compared to what Lydia has done over the years.

It is a movie that dwells on to what extent people will go to achieve their selfish thoughts. When self-ordained king of deception, Uncle Asante [Kataware] connives with his lawyer friend Nicholas [Adjetey Anang] to fake his death, he didn’t think of the aftermath of his actions.

His death forces his niece Nana Yaa [Lydia Forson] to return home for the funeral meeting Tunde Adams [Desmond Elliot], a family friend who has also returned from the UK. Tunde borrows things from a friend to make Nana Yaa happy, whiles she lies to keep him.
