Seasoned Nollywood actor, Hanks Anuku has stated that contrary to general perception, he’s never engaged in the use of hard drugs in the past.
He revealed that he used to smoke but doesn’t do that anymore, stressing that he doesn’t engage in any activity that could temper with his mental health.
The 64-year-old thespian disclosed this in a chat with content creator, Lucky Udu, while reacting to a viral video that portrayed as one with mental health challenges.
Hanks declared categorically that he is not ‘mad’ and he may have taken alcohol during a time he battled depression after being betrayed by those close to him.
He said; “I am not a mad man… Some people say I was on hard drugs. I don’t do hard drugs. Back in the days I used to smoke but not anymore. I never went into anything hard drugs. I have self control.
There’s probably where I was depressed and had to have a little drink like beer or wine. That’s it. I don’t drink hard liquor. But I was just isolated because I never thought I would be betrayed by my own people. It hurt me so much.”
Recall that in 2022, a disturbing video surfaced online showing Anuku dressed in tattered clothes, walking the streets of Enugu while apparently talking to himself, thereby sparking speculations that he was mentally unstable.
