The actor was to act a scene where he would fall and faint but it turned to an accident as he hit his forehead on a sharp object, got seriously injured and passed out.
Sharing the experience at the premiere of the film, last Friday, at Civic Centre, Lagos, the bubbly entertainer said, “I fell down on the first day on set. I needed to make my role believable and so, I decided to do it for real. When I started bleeding, everyone was in panic. I had non-stop migraine.
“After I went for treatment, I became more careful in order not to touch my eyebrow. The character I played sheds more light on what many entertainers do these days. A lot of entertainers take these substances back to back to knock out depression and other things. Acting in this movie has changed my perception about life and it couldn’t have come at a better time,” he stated.
