Ghanaian actress Joselyn Dumas has stated that she would have no problem acting in romantic scenes with Kumawood actor, Yaw Adu, popularly known as Sumsum, as long as such scenes are required by the movie script.

She made this known while reacting to claims that some actresses in Ghana’s English-language movie industry are unwilling to play romantic roles with Kumawood actors because of their physical appearance.

The discussion touched on claims that some female actresses consider themselves too beautiful to act as romantic partners of male actors who do not meet certain beauty standards.

However, Dumas said she was not aware of such an attitude among actresses and explained that her role as an actress would require her to work with different people, regardless of their appearance.

“If the script calls for it and I’m an actress, yes, he’s my co-actor. Why am I going to say I’m not going to do it with him?” she asked.

She added that actors must be willing to take on different roles and work with their colleagues professionally, depending on what a particular production requires.

Dumas also spoke positively about the conduct of some Kumawood actors, mentioning Lil Win as one person she finds supportive.

Her comments come amid discussions about the relationship between Ghana’s English-language movie industry and Kumawood, particularly claims that some actresses are unwilling to play romantic roles with actors from the latter.
