Actor Stan Nze has said no film role is worth risking his life with dangerous stunts.
He noted that trained stunt performers are paid for such tasks while actors should prioritize safety.
Nollywood actor Stan Nze has made it clear that no role is worth risking his life, especially when it involves stunts such as jumping from dangerous heights
Speaking in an interview with The Nation, the award-winning actor said that while stunt performers are well compensated for their work, he has no intention of endangering himself in the name of acting.
“Why would I? I have done films when characters jump, but it is done by stunt guys – it is their job. We have stunt actors who get well paid to do their thing. They have the experience, they have the knowledge of how to jump and whatever else that they need to do.”
“I’m not going to be foolish and say, because I want to be the best actor in Africa, and then I would jump down and people go do one minute of silence and then move on, it is stupidity. I’m going to be alive, get the right training and do the ones I am meant to do, so that the stunt men can do their job,” Nze stated.
When asked about the kind of role he has yet to take on, the actor admitted he has never gone nude on screen.
“Maybe nude; I have probably never gone nude because I don’t see the need for it but if I see a story that requires it and it is going to be short, modestly well to convey a particular message, why not?” he added.
