Adu Kofi, otherwise known as Agya Koo, has said that his excellent performance in Ghanaian movies, which has attracted many admirers to him, is a gift from God.

Despite the normal procedure of reading thoroughly a script before acting in films, he told Joy FM`s Kojo Oppong Nkrumah that actors and actresses are given their scripts two weeks ahead of time before they go on location (where the film is supposed to be shot), but due to his God-given talent, when given a role to play he does so perfectly without going by any script.

Although he originally arrived in Accra to sing, Agya Koo has been featured in over 90 Ghanaian movies, 15 of which remain his favorite, since his introduction to the Ghanaian film industry.

Agya Koo said currently due to his popularity, like other well-known entertainment personalities, he receives about 50 calls from women daily.

`I receive not less than 50 calls from ladies on a daily basis but not in a negative way. Some of them just want to know who I am, some seek advise from me on how to enter into the film industry, while others just express appreciation about what I am doing,` he added. Married with two beautiful young girls, Agya Koo said these calls never affect his time with the family or marriage life, since his wife knows that he is not doing anything wrong with these ladies.

According to him, his popularity has grown to the level which makes him spend more hours to move from one place to another because of thick crowds he normally encounters whenever he appears in public places.

He revealed that whiles some praise him others insult him saying `you are too foolish in films.` He said that majority of Ghanaians do misinterpret roles played by actors and actresses to be real.

On the issues of football and politics, Agya Koo said he did not have much interest, adding that one could experience heart attack with serious football matches if care is not taken.

About politics, the Ghanaian actor and comedian said it should be done in such way that it will bring peace to the nation.

Agya Koo has a great following in and outside Ghana. He started out as a local stand-up comedian but has grown into his own man, breaking a new ground in Ghana`s acting history.
