Popular actor Adjetey Anang, says a mother once rebuked her son for hugging him.
He played the role of Pusher, a naughty boy, in ‘Things We Do For Love’ – a popular television series in the early 2000s and it has been difficult for some people to detach him from the character.
According to Adjetey Anang, the cast had been invited for an event at Efua Sutherland Park as special guests when the shocking incident occurred.
“There was this young boy with the mum who’s around 9 or 10 years. He recognized me, took off from the mother and came and hugged me. I hugged him too. His mother was wondering ‘who’s this guy?’ As she drew close to me, she made me out.
“There was a shock on her face, she grabbed the boy’s arm and was like ‘get away from these rascals’ and walked away. For once, I thought she was putting up but she was serious. It got to me. And I was like we’re taking this a bit too far; there should be a clear distinction between the character we play and our personal lives”, he said on Restoration with Stacy.
Despite some of these challenges, Adjetey Anang said he is encouraged because the feedback indicates that he played his role very well.
