I dont even own a car - Ecow Smith

Ecow Smith Asante
Ecow Smith Asante
While others have said baring it all on the screen is a no no for them no matter how big the pay cheque, Ghanaian actor, Ecow Smith-Asante, 35, has revealed he will consider taking a nude walk in a movie if the money is good. Although he didn’t say how much is ‘good money’ the good looking actor said he wouldn’t mind showing more skin if the need arises and the remuneration will get him wearing the biggest smile all the way to the bank.

In a chat with Graphic Showbiz, Ecow said “I will go nude if the money is good and the storyline is interesting. It also depends on the degree of nudity. It will be an interesting experience that I’ll love to do”, he said.

According to Ecow, a good actor is one who is able to interpret a role and if going nude is what will bring life to a movie, he sees nothing wrong with going sans clothes.

But of course, the reward must be very good to compensate for revealing it all.

Ecow who has been acting for a while now, refuses to see himself as a star. “What is stardom about me? Being seen on the screen playing flamboyant roles is far different from what is on the ground. I don’t consider myself a star because that title goes with material possessions. I don’t even own a car. Surprised huh?”, he questioned.

He said but for the passion he has for the profession, he would have stopped acting a long time ago. “I sometimes have to resort to tro tro when I am broke and people stare at me with the ‘you’re not supposed to be here’ kind of look. I feel down when that happens”, he said.

Ecow’s biggest dream is to star alongside American actor and Oscar winner, Denzel Washington who he refers to as his mentor. “Everyone has an idea, a vision and a mentor who they look up to and mine is Denzel. My dream is to star in a movie with him before I say adieu to the film industry” he said.

And just how is Ecow going to achieve that? He explained that prior to landing on the silver screens, he used to be on stage. “Who would have thought that my stage performances would thrust me unto the international scene where I can rub shoulders with stars like Genevieve Nnaji of Nollywood which is rated third in the world movie industry. With hard work and determination, that dream will come to pass”, he said.

Ecow who says he is single however adds that he is not ready financially to settle down. “I don’t have a girlfriend at the moment. I am however not ready to settle down since I am not financially sound yet. I do not want my wife to suffer”, he said.

K, i understand that Ecow doesn't see himself as a star but don't u think he's underestimating himself??? And if that's the case, don't u think pple r gonna look down on him? I personally think that he should at least "kyere ne ho kakra" cos not errone gets to see Genevieve, Omotola, and all those great actors and actresses. I may not be a star but i'm still gonna live to my comfort.

@Shocker. As a die hard fan of Asante, i did offer him my Porsche when i read the article, but the bloke declined the offer, saying, he whould rather save the planet and run after tro tro.
Mind you, this guy has decided to go nude in public for more cash. May be his nudity won’t be justified if he’s seen driving a porsche. Misthang, help talk Asente over to accept my offer cus we don’t want to see his nudity in public.

Don't act like him not having a car is a choice. it ain't like he thinking bout global warming or some ish like dat. The point of this article is, our actors are being cheated regardless of how big they are in the industry. Do u really know how much money is being made of them.

jojo55 this site is not for people to insult others when they give their comments. The reason why i said he goes low to take tro-tro is his status as a movie star and moreover a celebrity. It is not common to see movie actors taking tro-tro like we common people. If some women have been disappointed by men, it is not only Ghanaian women it is all over the world, so if u sleep with ghanaian women and leave them that is ur own problem. I came to this site to socialise but not to hail insults on others. We should all behave as adults. When I go to Ghana I take tro-tro and taxi and it is not strange but if such a person like him is taking tro-tro as he said then it is not good. remember, tro-tro stops at any place so if you have something important to do like going to shoot a movie and u take tro-tro you are going to be late always. Keep in mind that not every woman wants a man to take care of her needs, some of us work real hard to take care of ourselves especially most of us abroad.

Ecow, i know for a fact u've been acting for a long time and not only in Ghana but Nollywood movies…so what happened? is it bad investments or lack of it? or u letting the girls spend all ur money…sorry but this is really sad..i think is not up to the producers but rather actors and actresses to save and invest their money well….i mean not even a second hand car?…smilies/sm_bigeek.gifsmilies/sm_dead.gif

I don't think u should use such a thing just to prove a point. If he really made that statement, then i think he means it. Because owning a car is not a big deal but for him to say that he doen't even own one i think he wasn't just proving a point.

Ekow, I am really surprised to get to know that u don't even have a car, this is unbelievable. Well if what u are saying is true then what are u doing in the acting business? Find some job full time and do the acting as ur partime job, because if at this stage in ur life and ur stardom u don't own even a "second-hand" car then bro quit the business it is not worth it. You are so talented and hansome don't waste too much time on things that does not generate profit. You go so low to take "tro-tro", come on bro find something better to do than wasting ur time and energy, go get urself a job in some office work and take acting part-time. I will pray for u. Peace!
