Feb 5, 2016 – Majid Michel Tells Reporter: I’m Not A Ghanaian Actor
Popular Ghanaian actor Majid Michel recently created a controversy during a press briefing in Accra Ghana.
The actor warned reporters during the launch of Kofas Media’s new movie project “Amakye & Dede” to stop addressing him as a Ghanaian actor.
During the question and answer session of the conference, Majid Michel was asked if there is a funny bone in him, and if there is, how he can make viewers of “Amakye & Dede” laugh when it’s finally out.
See his response:
“Well, I am an actor and I believe acting is an act and art is universal… I am not a Ghanaian actor; I am an actor from Ghana. So I was there as an actor and this director said he wants me for a film and I said what is it about and he said this is it.”
Mr Michel was born to a Ghanaian mother and a Lebanese father on the 22nd of September 1980 in Accra Ghana.

He is wright anyway
Since he was conceived and born in Ghana, he is Ghanaian. You are a citizen of your birth place. There are many people like that in Nigeria and Ghana. Those women rush to open their legs to those Lebanese working in Nigeria and Ghana and the product from such fling is people with false inflated ego. Lebanese are not even real white. In Nigeria we call them “Kora”.
Well as for me,,he is not a ghanian,he is a libanese…
So let ghanians stop addressing him as ghana actor….lol…if i am in his shoes i will say the same.
He’s a Ghanaian born actar
He is a Ghanaian / lebanese actar
some of u no d comment anytin b/c una no understnd d english or his. abeg na me understand?
Not a Ghanaian actor? perhaps an American actor. what a silly perception.
I saw this interview sometime ago, and I don’t go with him. A Ghanian actor, an actor from Ghana; he has not said a different thing. But if he feels inferior when addressed as a Ghanian actor, then do well to call him an “actor from Ghana”, if not for anything else, at least to boost his ego.
yeah
yeah
I tire for this guy self , you are a Ghanaian and that makes an actor from Ghana. Wetin be all these confusion. Abeg park well
He has fans all over the world… calling him a Ghanaian actor may ostracize his fan base from other parts of the world. This man is not denying his heritage as you all are making it seems.
correct
not just Ghanaian actor but also Nigeria actor since he engaged in the two.
