Agya Koo resurfaces
Loading ...Agya Koo, aka “Braam”, one of Ghana’s most popular actors has said that he flew out of the country to Spain last month as a result of unending telephone calls be was receiving from his fans who wanted to know whether he was dead or alive.
According to him, he was receiving not less than 120 calls a day from fans, local radio stations, family members and friends. “Some were saying that they had heard that I was dead and others too said I was seriously sick”.
“For over 18 years now I have never fallen sick neither have I even taken paracetamol. Me, I don’t fall sick so I don’t go to the hospital. In fact I can’t remember the last time I went to the hospital”, he said.
Agya Koo said he did not know where that rumour came from and was of the view that it may have been a plan by some people to discourage him from acting.
Agya Koo said when he realized that the rumours were becoming too much, he left the country to avoid all the calls since he had already been invited by one Mr John Kwaku Ofori and Madam Adwoa Gyamfuwaa to perform at Spain with Oheneba Eissi.
He said, however that he had not received any call since he returned from Spain about three weeks ago. He said his performances there attracted a lot of people and has received many invitations from some producers out there to perform again.
Talking about his contribution to the local movie industry Agya Koo said there has been tremendous demand for his movies because of his style of acting.
Agya Koo said he acted differently in every movie due to the fact that he has been chosen because of something that he could be identified with.
“I knew I had to come up with something that would be difficult to copy so I always create new things. I create and act but I don’t read a script and that is what makes me different from others” he said.
Agya Koo said he had not specialised in a particular area in acting. “I can act any role that I will be given to me by my director, Sometimes I play the role of an old man, lover bay, rich or poor man.
He said Ghanaians are enjoying his movies because he is a funny person.
Whenever he opens his mouth, he comes up with rib-tickling comments. Even when he is addressing a serious issue, he has a way of playing with words to the mirth of his audience.
“I have so far acted in about 60 movies and I love that. I am most of the time given a free hand to work around the characters I play and it is challenging because I have got to do it right.”
Currently, Agya Koo said he has established his own company called Te Te Mbofra (TTMF) Movie Production at Kumasi and have so far produced three movies.
