Nollywood veteran Hanks Anuku has revealed that he no longer smokes and has never indulged in hard drugs.
The actor disclosed this while reacting to a viral video that falsely portrayed him as mentally unstable.
A disturbing video from 2022 showed Anuku dressed in tattered clothes and appearing to talk to himself, sparking speculation about his mental health.
In a chat with content creator Lucky Udu, the actor debunked these speculations, stressing that he doesn’t engage in any activity that could harm his mental health.
“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,” he said.
“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.”
