I was once told gay sex was the way to enter Hollywood – Prince David Osei recounts
Actor Prince David Osei, from Ghana, gave his reasons for not working in Hollywood, citing interactions with LGBTQIA+ people who approached him and offered him opportunities for career advancement.
During an interview with Accra FM, the actor recounted his experience with a Hollywood producer who attempted to approach him.
According to him, if you give in to their sexual advances, these gay men guarantee to boost your acting career in Hollywood.
He has not appeared in a Hollywood film yet, claiming that his encounter turned him off.
“Some of the people I met that were in the business, some of them were on the other side. And I’m a very straight person.
“From conversations, you notice they are on a totally different path from mine, and so I told them to take their Hollywood. I’m not interested.
“It discouraged me because that was what I saw from the very beginning. Those were the people all over anytime we went for priemere and Q&As after the movies,” the actor disclosed.
Remembering a time when he was at a drink up in Los Angeles and a Mexican Latino made fun of his body before touching him inappropriately in front of others.
“At a point he [Mexican Latino] put his hand on my shoulder but I didn’t read much into it. But later, when the place got crowded, I felt someone press my bottom. Reflexively, I turn around and punched him. When that happened, they all asked: ‘What’s going on? And I said ‘he just touched my bum’. They started laughing,” he said adding that their reaction upset him.
“I told them: No, you don’t touch me inappropriately,” he stressed.
“After a while, the guy who touched me pulled aside and told me, ‘Well, if you really want to excel here, you need people like me. You need people like us. We run the show here.”
“I got that into my head,” David Osei said. The actor noted that when he returned to his hotel, he told himself, “I can’t pay this price. No, it is not worth it.”
