Nollywood actor Mofe Duncan had some mind boggling news to share on Instagram, and it was with regards to his weight.
He started out by calling out a certain netizen, who asserted that he wasn’t fit to be considered as handsome because of his weight.
In his caption, Mofe Duncan wrote;
”So this guy@iamadeogooluwayimika said I’m not allowed on the most handsome men in Nigeria list because I’m BIG. LOL!.
So comments like these brush off me like a leaf falling from a tree, ZERO IMPACT. ZERO DAMAGE.
I’m a big guy, yes. I’ve been big for the past 10yrs, yes.
Did I have a severe back injury whilst in the gym trying to look how people wanted me to look? Absolutely.
I’ve been trolled and even had producers not want to work with me after calling me “FAT” Yes Did it affect me years ago?
Yes. Does it affect me now? Never. Has it affected my acting or my career? I’d let my movies speak for me.
What about my personality? Never. Or my health? Nope. Now some would say “Ignore these trolls” I should shouldn’t I? Yes.
The thing is…. this post ain’t for me or about me, it’s for others like me who get BODY SHAMED or called “UNPRETTY” because they’re larger than their peers”
Mofe Duncan mentioned that he had severe back injury, while working out at a gym because he wanted to please people. This translates to the fact that he has been trolled online because of his weight for a while now.
A lot of actors and actresses have spoken up about weight, and fitness in general. A while back, comedian and actress Real Warripikin underwent surgery, which made her lose a lot of weight. She has constantly expressed how happy she was with how she looked at the moment.
Actres Nancy Isime also lost a lot of weight recently, and it raised a lot of concern as to her well-being in general.
