According to the veteran actor, the reason why he has been blacklisted is that a movie director who was directing a movie he was acting told him to go naked in front of 3 ladies and take his bath because Okomfo Anokye did the same according to history.
Speaking in an interview on a Kumasi based Angel FM entertainment show, the actor explained that “
“I told the director going naked in front of ladies and the people who were around that place will be a difficult scene for me to play”
“If Okomfo Anokye went naked to bath, that time there was no camera to capture and if I do that, the movie will be out and my nakedness will be out forever, “Agya Koo said.
“I went to the director and told him to do something about that scene because I cannot bath without going naked and the cameraman can take it as if I was naked but the director insisted, I go naked” he explained.

“I suggested that we should go to Manhyia palace for clarification because I don’t know much about Okomfo Anokye’s history but they insisted they will join me at Manhyia Palace. I came to Manhyia Palace and I was told we can do it without going naked”
Agya Koo explained that “When I told the director about what I was told at Manhyia Palace, he still insisted I should go naked so I told him then I will not continue the movie if I have to go naked”.
“Though Okomfo Anokye movie was based on Okomfo Anokye history there are some things we can do and cover-up. Why should I go naked in a movie without thinking about what it can cause me in the future”?
