His entrance into the entertainment industry in the country completely transformed the lowly patronised Ghanaian movies to an appreciable sales level today due to what others describe as great innovations.
Although he originally arrived in Accra to sing, Adu Kofi, otherwise known in showbiz circles as Agya Koo, has been featured in over 90 Ghanaian movies ,of which 15 remain his favorite since his introduction in the Ghanaian film industry.
Speaking to Joy FM`s Kojo Oppong Nkrumah recently on a range of issues including sports, his family life and politics, Agya Koo said currently due to his popularity, like other well-known entertainment personalities, he receives about 50 calls from women daily.
`I receive not less than 50 calls from ladies on a daily basis but not in a negative way. Some of them just what to know who I am, some seek advise from me on how to enter into the film industry, while others just express appreciation about what I am doing,` he added.
Married with two beautiful young girls, Agya Koo said these calls never affect his time with the family or marriage life since his wife knows that he is not doing anything wrong with these ladies.
According to him, his popularity has grown to the level which makes him spend more hours to move from one place to another because of thick crowds he normally encounters whenever he appears in public places.
He revealed that whiles some praise him others insult him saying `you are too foolish in films.` He said that Ghanaians now understand how stardom works because majority do misinterpret roles played by actors and actresses to be real.
On the issues of football and politics, Agya Koo said he did not have much interest in both politics and football, adding that one could experience heart attack with serious football matches if care is not taken.
About politics, the Ghanaian actor and comedian said it should be done such that it will bring peace to the nation.
Agya Koo has a great following in and outside Ghana. He started out as a local stand-up comedian but has grown into his own man breaking a new ground in Ghana`s acting history.
