Nigerian actor and filmmaker, Kanayo O. Kanayo has claimed to be more dedicated and better at interpreting movie roles than American movie star, Denzel Washington.

He posited that the level of work, perseverance, energy, and dedication he puts into his craft is what separates Nollywood actors like him from their foreign counterparts.

Kanayo was speaking during an episode of The Honest Bunch podcast, where he likened his movie roles to those of Arnold Schwarzenegger.

He argued that if the Hollywood actor, Denzel puts in the same number of hours he commits to a movie production, his skin colour would get darker.

The veteran thespian also claimed that American entertainers coined the name ‘Nollywood’ out of the seemingly ‘Nothingwood’ it was.
