The wife of veteran Ghanaian actor Adjetey Anang, Elom Anang, has disclosed that in an effort to safeguard her home and prevent losing her husband to fame, she discouraged him from acting.
She claimed that her insecurities caused her to urge Adjetey to stop acting because it doesn’t actually pay well, and for a while, he did as she said and stopped performing.
This information was disclosed in the opening to Chapter 10 of Adjetey’s memoir, “Adjetey Anang: A Story of Faith, Imperfection, and Resilience.”
“When I realized I was attracted to Adjetey, I decided to be selfish, as I was scared I could lose him to acting,” she disclosed.
“So I actually tried to discourage him from it, telling him acting didn’t pay much, among other things. He actually listened to me and, for a while, went off acting into a completely different field. However, he wasn’t happy with the new direction I was pushing him in.”
“He started working with a packaging company, and it was clear he wasn’t cut out for that. He was obviously getting results, but fulfillment wasn’t evident in his life,” she narrated.
She did, however, express guilt for trying to use her selfishness and fears to distract her husband from his main career and purpose.
