Veteran Nollywood actor Hanks Anuku has said he would not consider dating a woman working in Nollywood, citing concerns about trust and romantic relationships within the Nigerian film industry.

Anuku made the remarks while speaking on the Honest Bunch Podcast, where he discussed relationships, the entertainment industry and the changing pathways through which people enter acting.

The actor expressed reservations about dating within Nollywood, suggesting that the nature of the industry could create challenges for romantic relationships.

According to him, trust remains an important consideration when choosing a partner, particularly in an environment where actors frequently work closely with colleagues in emotionally demanding roles.

Anuku also spoke about what he described as changes in the Nigerian acting industry, including the increasing influence of personal connections in determining opportunities.

The veteran actor’s comments have generated discussion about relationships among entertainers and the professional pressures associated with working in Nollywood.

Nollywood has grown into one of the world’s most prolific film industries, creating opportunities for actors, producers, directors, writers and other professionals.

However, the industry has also faced recurring debates about access to opportunities, professionalism, competition and the role of personal networks.

Anuku’s criticism of what he sees as changing pathways into acting adds to broader conversations about the evolution of the Nigerian entertainment sector.

The actor has spent decades in the industry and has appeared in numerous Nigerian film productions, making his views particularly relevant to discussions about changes within Nollywood.

Relationships between actors have also remained a subject of public interest, with the private lives of celebrities frequently attracting attention from fans and entertainment media.

Anuku’s position, however, reflects his personal perspective on the challenges of maintaining trust within romantic relationships involving people who work closely together in the entertainment industry.

His comments have sparked reactions among social media users, with some agreeing with his concerns while others argue that trust and commitment depend more on individual character than profession.

The discussion also highlights the extent to which Nollywood careers can overlap with actors’ personal lives.

As the industry continues to expand, entertainers increasingly operate in an environment where professional interactions, public visibility and personal relationships often attract intense scrutiny.For Anuku, his comments represent a personal boundary shaped by his experiences and observations over the years.

The actor also used the podcast appearance to reflect on the broader state of Nollywood and the changing realities of pursuing an acting career.

His remarks are likely to continue fuelling conversations about trust, relationships and professionalism within Nigeria’s entertainment industry.
