Fast rising Nollywood actor Francis Anaele recently got tongue lashes from his colleagues and friends for turning down a gay movie role. However, he explained to Julia Blaise Blog (JBB) the reason behind his action, saying that he doesn’t have issue with people based on their sexual orientation as many have started feeling, but doesn’t feel at ease playing such role.


"The part was later played by another actor,” Francis explained, "It’s not because I have any ill will or disrespect.


"It’s because I don’t think I am really going to dive into that role 100 percent because of insecurities about myself trying to play that part. I don’t have an issue with  people  based on their sexual orientation," he concluded.
