Tonto Dike is a Real Life Drug Addict – Stella Dimoko
Stella: You shot the movie, My Life, My Damage, with
Uche Jombo; we are yet to see the movie but it is alleged that the drug addict
role you played in the movie is your true life character.
Tonto: Here we go again. I am an actor for Christ
sake. And I'm supposed to make my audience believe whatever role I interpret.
If any past role I have done has made anyone put a tag on me as Tonto a person,
that's their problem to deal with not mine. If they say I got the role because
I am drugs why are you calling me? Why don't you call the person who saw me fit
enough to interpret the role? My damage is a movie where I interpret the role
of someone who got high on drugs. Acting like a drug addict is easy. Please let
them say, I am not going to respond to anyone on this issue again.
Stella: The tattoo of your face on your back was done
during the movie shoot in America. Drugs and tattoo sometimes go together. Have
you gone for therapy to solve this problem?
Tonto: I don't understand these questions you are
asking. Have you gone to therapy for poke nosing into people's affairs? I am
sure you would call it a day job. That's fine. I had my back tattooed because I
always wanted to do so and during the movie shoot, we figured we could put the
scene into the movie. Like you said, drug and tattoo sometimes go together and
we thought it was perfect for the movie.
Stella: I will ignore the insult. From the synopsis of
the movie, your character did not end up well. Are you not worried that you
might end up like this in real life if you continue with the drug abuse?
Tonto kinda ignores this
question...
Tonto: Yes, the character I played ended up with
HIV/AIDS and that's a good lesson for people who abuse sex and drugs without
protection. The movie is a warning to young people living life on the fast lane
because they can afford it. The consequences are very serious and in most
cases, the damage done cannot be undone.
And Tonto has had enough
I don't mean to be rude but if someone calls me
again attaching a movie role to Tonto as a person, I will not give any response
and I won't be nice. It's a pity that people take their eyes off the film and
begin to put question mark on the actor's personal life. People should focus on
the character and not me. Thank you all the same for asking me, albeit that I
find these questions totally demeaning and insulting on my person. Have a nice
day.
But this Stella self make your mouth no put you for wahala oneday o!! lol
