Nollywood actor Damilola Ogunsi has responded with humor and grace after a viewer mistakenly identified him as a “white” actor in the series ‘Anikulapo: Rise of the Spectre.’
The viewer, using the X handle Ohjay1, shared a clip from a scene in the series where Ogunsi played the role of an angel alongside the protagonist, Saro (played by Kunle Remi).
Ohjay1 expressed confusion, writing, “This thing has to stop, why use white as an angel inside a black movie #Anikulapo.”
In response to the viewer’s comment, Damilola Ogunsi, an albino actor, took the opportunity to share a lighthearted response. He conveyed that it feels good not to be immediately recognized and added a playful remark about his skin tone.
Reposting the viewer’s tweet, Ogunsi wrote: “Feels good not to be recognized. I’m sure I’m ‘blacker’ than anyone in that scene.”
