Popular media personality and Kumawood actor Akrobeto has responded to suggestions that he should consider plastic surgery for his nose, stating that he sees no issue with its size.
On his Real News show on UTV, he addressed comments by Gospel artiste Celestine Donkor, who said she would rather invest in her soul than undergo plastic surgery.
Akrobeto, whose real name is Akwasi Boadi, pointed out some functional benefits of his nose, jokingly claiming it allows him to “breathe more air” than the average person, thus reducing his chances of getting sick or needing oxygen support.
He humorously suggested that he would rather spend money at a local eatery or ‘chop bar’ than on cosmetic surgery.
“You want me to spend money on plastic surgery to reduce my nose. Me? I would rather spend the money at the chop bar.
“I breathe easily… I cannot get sick. I don’t even need oxygen at the hospital. I can breathe in lots of air. My nose doesn’t choke,” he said.
Akrobeto also questioned the value of body modifications, stating that ageing and death are unavoidable for all.
Citing the late Michael Jackson as an example, he stressed the importance of accepting oneself.
“No matter what… it’s okay to look good, but you can die anytime. No one can escape death. You will definitely grow; you cannot avoid ageing. What didn’t Michael Jackson do to his body? But where is he now? Gone!” he said.
