• 0:30
  Now how can you call started acting in the late 90s and he
• 0:36
  started acting in Blockbuster movie action movie?
• 0:40
  I mean, if you know, Nollywood beforehand can do crew, you
• 0:43
  know, that it's all about romance.
• 0:45
  It's all about family drama. It's all about Juju black magic
• 0:51
  and all that. I think teach in the cheek area
• 0:55
  and I'm a co-production came in and they changed the whole Movie
• 1:00
  scene because we were used to watch in the, the Indian movies
• 1:05
  which has action movies, the Van Dam, the jellies, and all that.
• 1:10
  So when Hank a new coo, the lights of Hong Kong new, cool,
• 1:14
  gentle Jack. Jeremy Lou, a whole lot of
• 1:17
  them's steps into the movie scene.
• 1:19
  I said acting different action movie.
• 1:22
  I mean to cheat the chick era that point in time whenever I
• 1:25
  see any movie produced by security camera, I was excited
• 1:29
  because I I know I'm going to get some action and if there is
• 1:33
  honking look on that poster there.
• 1:34
  You know you're getting double the pleasure which is American
• 1:39
  accent. He's told builds, I mean the way
• 1:42
  he walks, he's just a walking billboard for a bad boy and
• 1:47
  people love tank for those actual movies, people love tank
• 1:50
  for the characters, he played in those movies, I mean, hang just
• 1:53
  opened his role. He was All-American guy, he was
• 1:57
  that American guy, you know, the Hollywood died.
• 2:03
  Which we now, having Nollywood, and we were so happy about it
• 2:06
  and how can body that character, he played a character on screen
• 2:11
  beautifully but that character did not transition to off
• 2:15
  screen. So people were and he kind of
• 2:18
  was a very private person. This is totally different from
• 2:22
  the characters that he played on screen.
• 2:23
  So people, we are curious, like, naturally this is, and this is
• 2:28
  like, before the Whole, you know, Instagram and all those
• 2:33
  kind of things. So people soft, sell magazines
• 2:36
  were the ones who usually carry those stories about people, or
• 2:40
  about actors, or about entertainers and celebrities.
• 2:43
  So, Hank wasn't granting interviews, all you need to do
• 2:47
  is to watch his movies as you were.
• 2:50
  Hank is up to, oh, he's personal life, people were curious about
• 2:56
  her, uncle Lucas personal life, and he was not giving anybody
• 2:59
  anything. Anytime you see hung talking off
• 3:01
  camera, he's always talking about God, he's very spiritual,
• 3:05
  he's very religious. And people couldn't just wrap
• 3:09
  their heads around the fact that this guy is a Nollywood bad boy
• 3:14
  on screen. Like, you don't mess with Hank
• 3:17
  on screen but off-screen. People were just like, what is
• 3:22
  happening. Like this guy must give us some
• 3:24
  bodies. This guy needs to create drama
• 3:28
  like Jim, I guess a walk. He drama and people know that.
• 3:32
  Okay, you Mike is Frizzy basically, so how can local
• 3:35
  people could not understand him, and then there are so many
• 3:39
  stories circulating a mean. This was before blogs, when logs
• 3:45
  became a thin in Nigeria, people started writing stories about
• 3:49
  Hank. I mean, these are our favorite
• 3:51
  at all and we don't even know anything about him.
• 3:53
  So what some bloggers did was just to sit down, cook-offs to
• 3:56
  hurry. All right about Hank, There was
• 3:59
  a point in I mean sweet 2015 when they set hand-cut HIV and
• 4:05
  this room was circulated, the whole lot.
• 4:08
  Like people said he was married. He got HIV, he spread HIV to his
• 4:13
  wife and kids like there was so many things happening.
• 4:17
  Hank came out. He actually did a video on
• 4:21
  camera. He did HIV test and he was - so
• 4:27
  this was those who keep up room or of people.
• 4:30
  Trying to understand Hank, get him to talk, get him to say
• 4:34
  something, and this was just too much for honkin.
• 4:36
  Uku, he actually relocated to Ghana, he was in Ghana for
• 4:40
  several years and Houck has finally come back to Nigeria to
• 4:45
  continue. His career is Nollywood movies
• 4:48
  and he has been acting. I mean, the last movie he did
• 4:53
  according to Hank, he was in character.
• 4:56
  He dressed us a mark person. Walking on the streets and
• 5:01
  somebody driving by actually recorded some video and, you
• 5:06
  know, posted this online according to the video, If you
• 5:10
  hear hunk, they were asking him where he was going and he was
• 5:14
  saying that he was going to get food to eat according to Hank,
• 5:17
  that scene was misinterpreted because he said he was on set
• 5:21
  and he go hungry and you wanted to go get something to eat
• 5:24
  because he didn't like was being offered on set.
• 5:27
  So people saw him on the street and people say Said, Hank has
• 5:31
  gone. Crazy.
• 5:32
  Hank is mad roaming around the streets as a Madman.
• 5:36
  Now, sure, George came out and said, she is actually on set
• 5:40
  with hand. Can you put that Hank is not
• 5:42
  crazy. Hank is no more, I guess.
• 5:45
  Okay. Then before you could say Jack,
• 5:48
  another actress came out and said, no, no, Hank is not okay,
• 5:53
  Hank is, you know, going crazy. He needs help people.
• 5:57
  At least now that the secret is out people.
• 6:00
  Offer Hank, help. Everybody was not confused like,
• 6:03
  okay, what is actually going on if Sharon, George is veteran.
• 6:08
  Olive Wood actress is coming out to say that Hank is okay.
• 6:11
  And Hank is on sets, actually on set with them in as a boxing
• 6:15
  movie. And that's scene was from a
• 6:18
  movie. And another lady, you not good
• 6:21
  actress. This new generation actresses
• 6:24
  came out and said, no, Hank is not okay, Hank is no no more
• 6:28
  like he needs help. Help.
• 6:30
  So people are now thinking. Okay, who are we going to
• 6:32
  believe before? You could drop your cup of
• 6:34
  coffee. Hi, came out and said no, that's
• 6:37
  a people need prayers because he does not understand why people
• 6:42
  are after him. He does not understand why
• 6:45
  people are taking his craft to, you know, relate that to his
• 6:49
  real life. That's on his normal.
• 6:53
  He did not actually kind of refute, talk about the video
• 6:57
  that was circulated. He just said our people need to
• 7:00
  Give their lives to Christ. They see, basically, I was with
• 7:03
  Hank was saying instead of actually addressing the video
• 7:07
  that was circulating. So people started talking about
• 7:10
  mental health. I mean, if we all move that
• 7:13
  Genevieve in that you recently, was admitted in an institution
• 7:19
  of having mental health disorder and she is off social media.
• 7:24
  She's off circulation for a very long time and nobody knows what
• 7:28
  is going on. And people started asking like
• 7:32
  what is actually going on with our Nollywood actors and
• 7:35
  actresses because some of them they either have kidney problems
• 7:40
  or they have one issue or the other and then before you know,
• 7:45
  they just fall off and you know, something happens.
• 7:49
  So people are thinking if I can cook will actually have a mental
• 7:53
  health problems, is it not better for people or the
• 7:58
  Nollywood people to actually Out and offer help or offer
• 8:03
  Solutions. So, this conversation has been
• 8:05
  going on a social media. People asking, is it really just
• 8:11
  a movie or is it that Hank is kind of smoking something?
• 8:16
  That's why he's going crazy? Or is there a spiritual because
• 8:20
  Genevieve enlarged actually came out and said that mental health
• 8:24
  is more spiritual than physical. So according to ha, Ha, I mean
• 8:31
  physically she is not lacking anything in terms of financial,
• 8:37
  she has everything but spiritually.
• 8:39
  Maybe there's an imbalance. There's something going on there
• 8:42
  that she is not sharing. She just alluded to that fact.
• 8:47
  So people that are discussing about Hong Kong look like what
• 8:50
  is actually going on. I mean, there was a point in
• 8:52
  time when Jim Ike went to TB, Joshua's Church where he
• 8:58
  performs some deliver. And he actually delivered
• 9:01
  anyway. He did an interview years later
• 9:05
  with Trudy saying that his mother was actually sick at that
• 9:09
  point, he was ready to go through any lengths to ensure
• 9:14
  that she gets healed. So somebody suggested TB Joshua
• 9:17
  and he went there and that I mean we all know about 20 de qué
• 9:21
  Tanto, de que actually tried and in her life at some point in
• 9:24
  time but I think perceived house has son when she She gave birth,
• 9:30
  I think that she now have something else to look up to.
• 9:34
  I am not sure if honking look, he's married because there was
• 9:37
  an interview. He granted in Ghana in 2017.
• 9:41
  He said, he is looking for. They were asking him if he
• 9:45
  womanize is or that they've not seen him around.
• 9:48
  I mean, how'd is a very private person, he is that private, you
• 9:54
  would not see Hank in different places gallivanting or anything
• 9:59
  like that. So, Interview was asking him
• 10:01
  you've been in Ghana for some time now.
• 10:04
  We've not seen you womanizing, you know, clubbing and all that
• 10:08
  was his going on. Where are you?
• 10:10
  How are you enjoying Ghana? Is it that you don't like
• 10:12
  Guardian women? And one thing he said was that
• 10:17
  he's he's been there he's done all these things.
• 10:20
  I mean he lived in the u.s. he lived in the UK.
• 10:23
  He said he lived in Italy and some other European countries
• 10:27
  that he said he lived in. He said it It did everything
• 10:31
  that he could possibly do as young adults and now, like, why
• 10:37
  would he want to do any of those things?
• 10:39
  He said he was looking for a wife material, not really a
• 10:42
  girlfriend that he doesn't womanize.
• 10:45
  He doesn't do all those things because he is kind of a
• 10:49
  spiritual person. So listening to hand talk, it
• 10:54
  was kind of difficult to put the Hank that we know of movie set
• 10:59
  and the Will sitting down talking about his personal life,
• 11:03
  about his growth about his journey because you know, if
• 11:06
  somebody had that image of him, I mean, even Jim.
• 11:09
  I was even saying that people think he is this bad boy, he has
• 11:14
  this bad-boy persona, but he said personally that he got,
• 11:19
  he's not like that, although he's crazy but it's not to the
• 11:24
  level that people has attributed him to so hard.
• 11:29
  Don't know, we've heard from the horse's mouth start from honks
• 11:35
  himself, that he is not crazy, like he is no more.
• 11:40
  He's okay, but what do we believe?
• 11:45
  I mean, everybody come out and tell you, especially
• 11:48
  entertainers, especially celebrities.
• 11:51
  They're going to come out and tell you that they are okay, but
• 11:53
  are they really okay? We don't know for the fact that
• 11:58
  some people from the The street are coming out to say that this
• 12:02
  guy smoke certain things and once he gets, you know, those
• 12:07
  things into his system, he started acting funny or he
• 12:10
  started just, you know, doing certain things.
• 12:13
  I mean, mental health is not really discussed up much in
• 12:17
  Africa especially in Nigeria because people just think if you
• 12:21
  if you're depressed, the most be something like, you know,
• 12:25
  getaways do whatever you want to do.
• 12:28
  People don't take. Things seriously.
• 12:31
  If you know you're feeling somehow and you know that the
• 12:34
  environment you're in, you cannot get a solution.
• 12:37
  You need to change. I mean, how to change from
• 12:40
  Nigeria to Ghana, where he lived for it, over five years without
• 12:45
  any problem. And now he's back in Nigeria,
• 12:49
  Hank is back in the news. I mean, I am wishing hang all
• 12:53
  the best he talked so much about spirituality.
• 12:57
  He talked too much about religion and Hope he is getting
• 13:01
  all the console. He need his getting over all the
• 13:03
  help that he needs whether he is mad or whether people are saying
• 13:08
  that he is mad because maybe he's acted funny once or twice
• 13:12
  on set. But whichever the case is we
• 13:17
  should take mental health. Seriously, mental health is not
• 13:19
  something to do with anything that is going to affect your
• 13:22
  mental health. Leave that thing like move away
• 13:26
  from that thing because you would not even You know, when
• 13:30
  you're going to be ticked off the edge, nobody knows.
• 13:33
  You don't know when that cop will pull through, I mean, you
• 13:36
  have no idea. That is how mental health is so
• 13:41
  anything that's going to get your mind to wander, or to get
• 13:46
  you to a state where you're no longer in control of your
• 13:50
  emotion, cut it off. It's not worth it.
• 13:56
  It's not. So thank you very much for
