“It discouraged me because that was what I saw from the very beginning. Those were the people all over anytime we went for priemere and Q&As after the movies,” he said.
Recounting a specific incident at a Los Angeles event, the producer detailed how a Mexican Latino praised his physique and later made inappropriate physical advances in a crowded setting.
The actor, known for his straightforward demeanour, reacted swiftly, punching the individual who touched him.
“At a point he (Mexican Latino) put his hand on my shoulder but I didn’t read much into it. But later, when the place got crowded, I felt someone press my bottom. Reflexively, I turn around and punched him. When that happened, they all asked: ‘What’s going on? And I said ‘he just touched my bum’. They started laughing.
“I told them: No, you don’t touch me inappropriately. After a while, the guy who touched me pulled aside and told me, ‘Well, if you really want to excel here, you need people like me. You need people like us. We run the show here. I got that into my head,” David Osei said.
