Kumawood actor Yaw Adu popularly known in showbiz circles as Sumsum has said that women fill his social media inbox with a lot of messages despite his ugly look.

According to him, he gets women directly messaging him about how they want to associate and hang out together with him.

“So many women message me on social media, they want me to be their friend, I didn’t use to get this kind of attention,” he said.

Sumsum in an interview with Delay on the “Delay Show” said he has suffered a lot of ordeals because of his looks especially when it comes to dealing with women.

“It has been difficult for me, getting people to associate with has been a struggle talk less of having someone to call a girlfriend in the past but thank God my story has changed, now I get women flocking into my Facebook,” he said.

The Actor who is known for his ‘demonic roles’ in movies said, because of his looks directors only cast him for such roles.

“The thing is, the directors we have here are one-way, there are a lot of things I can do but because of my looks they only cast me for occult and demonic roles”.

The Kumahood actor said even though the women keep messaging him on social media, he is currently single and looking out for the right woman to settle down with.



Sumsum has starred in movies alongside Emelia Brobbey, Nana Ama McBrown, Agya Akoo Lil Win, Akrobeto and Bill Asamoah.
