I lost a TV commercial deal because of my affiliation with the NDC – Mr Beautiful

Ghanaian actor and comedian, Clement Bonney popularly known as Mr Beautiful has disclosed how he lost a TV commercial deal due to his involvement in politics.

The comic actor in an interview on The Afternoon Show on TV3 said he knew the consequences of his involvement with the NDC but did not worry because to him, Ghana was “still a baby in Democracy.”

Mr. Beautiful also revealed that Kumawood also banned shooting a movie with him because of his affiliations with the NDC.

“I knew there would be attacks. I remember I was in South Africa then my manager told me about some project. They wanted me to do a TV commercial for them. I told them I was ready.

“I flew to Ghana and got to the location. When the Marketing Director came, he said but this is Mr Beautiful, I cannot work with him, he supports NDC. And I said okay, no problem then fly me back so he flew me back,” he shared on Tuesday, September 10.

“Kumawood also called me that all persons in Kumasi support NPP so because I have joined the NDC, I cannot shoot movie with them anymore.

“So, I knew it but what motivated me was that I knew we were still a baby in Democracy and that we would overcome it one day.

I took a bold step and in 2016 all of them came on board. I was happy when I saw my colleagues joining politics,” he stated.
