BAN OF CELEBRITY ALCOHOL ENDORSEMENT IS BAD, DETRIMENTAL TO OUR POCKETS – Film Director, Frank Garbin
Kumawood Film director Frank Garbin, has stated that he is against the regulation that forbids celebrities from promoting alcoholic beverages within the nation.
He believes that the law hurts the participants’ ability to make money.
During an appearance as a guest on United Showbiz on UTV on May 11, 2024, Frank Garbin expressed his opinion that celebrities shouldn’t be held accountable for the consumption of alcoholic beverages by children. Rather, he says that these kinds of problems belong in the household and with the people who sell alcohol.
“It is unfortunate because I keep asking what measures have been put in place to check the people who sell alcohol. In this modern world, no one tells a child what to do, and as such, it’s written on these alcoholic bottles that they should not be sold to persons under 18 years and those who drink should do so responsibly.
“…For me, it’s a very obnoxious law and it is detrimental to the pockets of these stars. So, let’s find a way to curb the methods by which alcohol reaches children rather than focusing on who’s endorsing it because it’s a business that someone is also conducting to provide for their family,” he told show host, MzGee.
Frank added that stringent procedures should be put in place to confirm people’s ages before selling them alcohol.
“As for me, the whole thing, I believe, starts from our environment, the immediate environment in which we live; our parents, neighbours, those with whom these children play with, the influence they have on those children. So, it’s about time we implement strict measures that will prevent those who sell alcohol from selling to persons who are not 18 years old because I believe that will reduce the influence more than banning stars from endorsing. Because if a star does not endorse, a different person is going to endorse,” he stated during his submissions.
