Actor Chris Bassey has said that the days of sex-for-roles in the Nollywood movie industry are long gone because homosexuality has taken over.

According to him, movie directors now prefer to feature actors from their academy instead of someone offering sex.

He told The SUN: “The industry is not the way it used to be because now the rate people engage in homosexuality is too high. But then, when a lady presents herself to a man and say ‘I want you to help me, this is what I can do’.

"There is a way a lady will present herself and the man will listen to her, but not when you want a role or someone to help you, you are going the other way round.

"Yes, sex-for-role happened in those days, but I believe not anymore. Gone are the days when you for had to sleep with someone to get a role, it doesn’t happen again. Even if it does, the percentage is very, very low.

"These days, you have directors that have their own academies, they want people to register under them and possibly from there, they can get roles. So, I don’t think sex-for-role is still happening."
