'I don't act in movies my mother can't watch' - Actor Kalu Ikeagwu

Nollywood actor Kalu Ikeagwu says he does not act in any movie his mum can't watch. He says a critical decision for him before taking up any script is to ask himself if his mum can watch the film..
"What determines the script I accept is the quality and morals behind it. I can't feature in movies that are boring. My movies must have something to teach, entertain and inform so that you can learn something. Any role I play in a movie doesn't matter to me. What matters is that you must have something to learn from the movie. The other thing that determines whether I do a movie or not is before I take the script, I will ask myself whether my mum can watch the movie. If she can,  I do it. If she can't I don't do it" he told Encomium magazine

    Aww.. That's so cool. Prolly close to his mum. Sounds responsible. If he can respect his mum, chances are he'll respect women in general. Impressed ----C21

    Now that's the difference between a professional and unprofessional actor. A professional is not selective of what movie his mum can watch or not, if it's interesting and has a lesson to offer to the public and the pay is right u accept

    When he says if his mum can watch it...he's referring to decency of a movie. If his mum can watch it then my mum can too. Unlike those rotten movies that you can't watch with your parents

    This one never start. they are different genre of movies and what is boring or meaningless to one person might interest another. Is ur mother ur only fan, Africans should learn to apply professionalism to their work and remove sentiments. so assume u r my greatest artist and i love ur movies,and i like blockbuster movies but ur mother likes opiiweka does it mean i will be forced to watch opiiweka cos of ur mum? oh puleeeeesssss
