Nollywood actor and supermodel, Uti Nwachukwu has disclosed the reason why he no longer features in Nollywood movies again. The actor who has been missing in action for some time now said most producers often fail to pay the required fee for services and even go as far as wanting him to do certain things for peanuts. In an interview with Sunday Scoop, Uti said
“I haven’t been in the country, but I am back now. I took a break from acting because it doesn’t pay much and I am not ready for that kind of life. I don’t want to pretend about it; so, I am only focusing on what brings greater remuneration, which is television presenting and hosting of events.
“Acting would just be a hobby because honestly, producers can’t afford to pay what I want to earn. But I will not stay away from movies totally; I will pick only exceptional movies instead of featuring in all the ones I am invited to partake in.
I don’t have so much time for little money. I am not here to pretend all is well. I am in the industry to make money; I am not in the industry to play.”
