 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. credit: Graphic Showbiz Come on Venus and AA Productions..Look after your actors. This is really sad.
