Ghanaian comic actor Benson Nana Yaw Oduro Boateng, popularly known as Funny Face has advised people going through a phase in their lives to gather the courage to speak out.
Funny Face is one of the celebrities in the entertainment industry who went through a hard time in 2021 when he fell into depression.
Recall that in 2021, Funny Face made headlines for the wrong reasons. There were a series of stories of his arrest, trial in court, and admission to the psychiatric hospital that went viral causing a lot of people to talk.
After several months of his predicament, Funny Face has come out to advise people to open up to people whenever they have suicidal thoughts or passing through a phase in their life.
“My biggest lesson is, if any human is going through something, I want to talk to somebody,” he said.
“My dear brother, my dear sister, I don’t know what you are going through, I don’t know what is your burden, but if you look at me today, if you look at me these days, see me again, go back on YouTube, go back on the internet, play everything.”
“Just type Funny Face depression. For two good years, I was going through depression. I wanted to die. Actually, I went to Cape Coast. I wanted to die in the sea. One old lady said, if you want to die, where you are standing, it’s too short. Go deeper and I said old lady relax “, he added.
