Women were rejecting my proposals because they were afraid I’ll turn into a snake – Diabolo man

Veteran actor, Bob Smith Jnr. popularly known as Diabolo has disclosed that his ‘snake’ role in the early 2000’s famous movie, ‘Diabolo’, has cost him a lot of relationships, MyNewsGh.com reports.

He made this revelation on Kumasi-based Pure FM in an exclusive interview with Hammer Nti on the popular ‘Hammer Time’ entertainment program monitored by MyNewsGh.com.

Mr. Smith Jnr. disclosed that he had it difficult securing a life partner after he perfectly acted out his ‘snake’ character in the ‘Diabolo’ movie, as women rejected his proposals due to their scare of him turning into a snake in the future.

“Hammer, you know I had it difficult getting a woman into a relationship with and marrying. All the ones I proposed to rejected me because they thought maybe I will turn into a snake in the future.

The one that I’m married to never watched the Diabolo movie by then so I was lucky. It was later into our marriage that she watched it and she asked me why I would act that role but you know, we were already married so there was nothing she could do.

I remember when I attended a party in the UK and there was a brief light out due to a technical hitch, all the people at the event run away because they were scared I would turn into a snake and haunt them.”

“I won’t say I regret playing out that role. I guess these are some of the feedbacks that make you understand that you are a good actor and you executed your role to perfection but it is also a consequence I have to endure and live with for the rest of my life.” He told Hammer Nti on Pure FM.

Diabolo is a Ghanaian movie that enjoyed wide popularity in the early 2000s due to Bob Smith’s character that could turn into a snake and haunt people that were greedy in their lifestyles.

It had a moral theme of “all that glitters not being gold.”
