Nigeria-loving Ghanaian actor, Joe Phils has been in Nigeria for a while because he loves Nollywood and intends to make a name for himself in the Africa’s leading movie industry. He came into the industry in 2008 on the wings of a soap opera titled ‘Stigma’ and since then he has not looked back.
He now has a long list of films to his credit. Double Assassinations, Blue Babes, Drug and Romance, A Long Way Home, BK Suicide Missions, Royal Bastard, Royal Bomber are among the films that brought the fair-skinned actor fame.
Cut along the same lines as Majid Michel, Frank Artus and Van Vicker, Joe is sure a teaser for the ladies but the actor told Potpourri he isn’t taken in by entreaties from ladies as he is already taken by a woman. “In fact I am getting married soon. I wanted to make it a surprise for my fans but now that you have brought it up, I must own up. My heart belongs to a lady and I am getting married soon. Just watch out” he said.
While conceding that he interpretes his romantic scenes to perfection, he said he cannot imagine himself going nude in a movie. “It is totally against our African culture. I can do the romantic scenes because they are basically make-believe but for nudity? Count me out” he thundered.
Further revelations from the actor show that he respects Yvonne Okoro above any other Ghanaian actress. And he also said Tuface Idibia is his number one African music artiste.
