I’ve had to deal with homosexuality proposals –Abayomi Alvin
Actor, model, screenwriter, and entrepreneur, Abayomi Alvin, came into public attention after starring in Jenifa’s Diary and Isoken, in a recent interview said he had faced homosexuality proposals.
The Obafemi Awolowo University graduate in Nollywood Radio interview
said he has had homosexuality proposals. “Yes, I have had such an encounter,” he revealed when asked if he had ever been propositioned.
He stated: “The first time, I was shocked. I was like, ‘Oh, wow, people do this?’ But as I grew up in the industry and became more mature, I learned how to handle things better. Some of these people are the ones that will hire you for a gig—acting, modeling. You need to know how to handle these things diplomatically. You also don’t want to be in people’s bad books. I just make my point clear: I am straight. My ways are not curved.”
Alvin said he is aware of his teeming female fans but that he has a well formed perspective on how to deal with it. “There comes a time in a man’s life as an entertainer when he would come to terms with the fact that he can’t sleep with everyone. It doesn’t make sense. These things have spiritual effects. Besides, how many people do you want to sleep with? No matter how much they tell you they like you, just take them as fans and don’t take advantage of them. This life is just more than sleeping around,” he noted.
