In an exclusive interview with Pulse Ghana, renowned Ghanaian actress and fashion designer,
Pascaline Edwards showed empathy and compassion for fellow performer Funny Face’s financial struggles.
Pascaline Edwards, who has won various awards and is well-known for her parts in a number of Ghanaian films, recognized that Funny Face has recently had many challenges and hinted that his present financial struggles could be a result of these trying times.
Benson Nana Yaw Oduro Boateng, also known as Funny Face, recently disclosed that he hasn’t seen his daughters in four years because of financial difficulties.
He acknowledged that he was human and would make mistakes, but he begged people not to ruin his reputation for prospective business partners as he aggressively looked for ambassadorial deals to help him out financially.
She emphasised that the comedian has been through “hell and back,” alluding to a series of hardships that have left a lasting impact on his life.
“I’m not surprised Funny Face is broke. Oh, his case is a very dicey one. The guy has gone through hell and back. So why won’t he be broke? He is trying to pick up the pieces. So yes, I’m not surprised at all that he is broke,” remarked Edwards.
She further shared her own financial challenges, asserting, “Even me, I’m broke, but because I don’t say it, people think I’m okay… like I’m broke too. So if you have any help, kindly help me because I’m in the same boat with Funny Face.”
Expressing concern about the criticism directed at Funny Face on social media, Pascaline Edwards urged the public to show gratitude that he is alive to share his struggles.
She emphasized that those who haven’t experienced what he went through may not fully comprehend his situation, adding, “If you haven’t experienced what he went through before, you might probably think he is not serious. You could do worse if you are in his position.”
