Nollywood actor Uzor Arukwe has recently opened up as regards the surprising rumour about his sexuality,​

In an interview, Arukwe recounted his initial reaction to hearing the rumour: that he was gay​

“They said that I was gay, and that shocked me to my balls. I was excited too. Cos I heard that when they start saying those kinds of things, you will blow (famous), so I thought to myself, ‘this must be it.’”​

His response highlights the unexpected nature of the rumour and his ability to find humour in the situation.​

“So, I have a lot of gay friends, they are my people, and I know their sexuality. And I love them to death. I have nothing against them whatsoever, but I’m not going to agree to what I’m not just because to some people they are a certain type of people. For me, let God judge.”​
