Actor cum politician, Mr. Beautiful known privately as Clement Bonney has claimed to be the one who introduced celebrity political endorsement in Ghana.
In an interview on Property FM in Cape Coast, the comedian said as celebrity endorsement was new to many prior to his endorsement, he was insulted when he endorsed former President Mahama in 2012.
“There’s politics in everything that we do in this life and even in our homes where we stay there is politics there.
“I was the one who introduced celebrity political endorsement in Ghana and that was in the year 2012 when I set the pace for others to follow.
“When I set the pace a lot of those in the kumawood movie industry insulted me and even denied me of movie roles by sidelining me.
“They did a lot against me but later they realized what I did was the right thing and in 2016 the likes of Agya Koo, Matilda Asare and Lumba all joined but it was me Mr Beautiful that brought that thing,” he claimed.
