Dark skinned people don't look as good playing nude on screen- Actor OC Ukeje

Award winning actor OC Ukeje has made it clear he would never go nude or act a gay role even if it involves an Oscar.More interestingly, he said because Dark people don't look as good nude on screen....Who agrees?
Here is what he told YNaija
"Also as far as nudity goes, I have seen films where there was nudity and that is the last thing you remember about the film because it was done very, very professionally. First of all, I don’t think anyone wants to see my black butt on screen because in the business of film making aesthetics are very important. The picture has to be fine. Darker skinned people just do not play as well nude, on screen.
 I am not subscribing to any skin colour superiority but I think that in film, everyone wants a beautiful picture. For the last film I made, because I have spots on my back, the director wanted me totally covered up so every time they needed me bare-chested, they used make up to cover all the spots. The percentage of open-minded people is very negligible. I was in ‘Hoodrush’ recently and when some promotional pictures were released, my hairy body was a big topic on social media, with people insisting it was not a pretty sight. Because of that, I have learnt to shave down to my legs"

  2. Maybe he has craw craw spots on his body or something, I just finished watching flights which stared Denzel Washington and even though he is older, he still looked very cool naked... Mind you am not gay.. I was actually watching his white female accomplice and secondary I don't advocate going nude on camera but he should give a better reason abeg.

    3. Dear Truth, it is obvious that having 4 descents has scrambled your brain, therefore you cannot think straight. 1; You cannot insult people based on the fact that they don't know somethings 2; Obviously, you don't have a good understanding of the English language. How does "HALF" qualify 4 descent? Don't you think "QUARTER" is a better word to use? 3; It is indeed sad that you have Nigerian in your blood, because you are a shame to Nigerians for making such comments.

    4. Obviously you need to travel out of your village so your brain can take some fresh air. My mum is American/ French. My dad is Nigerian/Italian. I know you all are jealous so now you see why I'm a citizen of the world? And oh I was born in the UK. Am I not a queen. So bow down bitches. I'm called the Truth because my body my intelligence is the TRUTH. Sue me

    7. Dear Truth, your reply just confirmed how scrambled your brain is. Your mum is HALF American and French and your dad is HALF Nigerian and Italian, which makes you QUARTER American, French, Nigerian and Italian (do you now understand how HALF is not for you?) I am sure you have low self esteem that is why you have to tell us you were born in the UK. I am Proudly born and bred in Naija.

  7. I think it is time that as Nigerians we need to be sensitive to what comments we make, saying dark skinned people don't look good in the nude on tv is very wrong and as an actor you should have more sense that to make such thoughtless comments. Secondly, any good film director will want spots and blemishes on the skin covered up, whether you are dark or light skinned.
    Mr O.C Ukeje, please think about whatever you want to say before you open your yap to spew out rubbish from it.

  10. O.C Ukeje, why won't your hairy body be a topic on social media, look at the hair on your legs, they look like pepper seeds....yuck! and why won't your body be photo shopped? It doesn't look nice in the nude. Instead of you to admit that you don't look nice in the nude on tv, you are making stupid comments, like dark skinned people don't look good in the nude on tv. Guy check out, Idris Elba, Morris Chestnut, Taye Diggs....hot dark skinned men.
