Kumawood actor, Yaw Adu, popularly known as Sunsum, has recounted how he used to be assaulted because of his looks.<\/p>\n
The actor disclosed that he was slapped by an inhabitant in his hometown after he begged for money from the man. He claimed that the man gave him a look of disgust and slapped him.<\/p>\n
He also added that despite that, the man\u00a0who slapped him because of his \u201cHorrible\u201d face called him some weeks ago, requesting that he (Sunsum) escorts him to a deceased mother\u2019s funeral.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cThere was a time that I begged for alms from a guy and he slapped me because of how I looked. It happened in my hometown. But some few weeks ago, he called me to ask me to escort him to his dead mother\u2019s funeral.\u201d <\/em><\/h3>\n
The actor narrated on the latest episode of ‘The Delay Show’.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Sumsum also revealed that, he had to beg and sell \u201cpolythene bag\u201d at a very tender age for his family to survive due to the high level of poverty at the time.<\/p>\n
He further said that his childhood was characterized by discrimination and hatred by people. All these, he attributed to his rather bulgy eyes, a look he claims he inherited from his mother and grandmother.<\/p>\n
\u201cSome people respected me. Others also disrespected me. They saw me as the son of a poor person. They spoke with much disgust when sending me on an errand. There was no respect,\u201d Sunsum lamented.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Sumsum has starred in movies alongside Emelia Brobbey, Nana Ama McBrown, Agya Akoo Lil Win, Akrobeto and Bill Asamoah.<\/p>\n
He has featured in movies like Bosom Ba, Handsome Paddies, Good Morning, Ogya Sunsum, Abr) Ne Bayie and many more. Sunsum who had received unpalatable comments at the early stages of his career because of his scaring face has now become one of the most expensive ones on the Akan language movie scenes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
