I am still fit to act – Veteran Actor Duro Michael begs for film roles after losing one leg (VIDEO)
  • Actor Duro Michael has unleashed an emotional video after bravely undergoing a life-altering surgery to amputate one of his legs
  • With raw sincerity, he expressed deep gratitude to everyone who supported him during this challenging ordeal.
  • He passionately pleaded for opportunities in the film industry, stressing that he desperately needs roles to provide for himself and his family.

Nollywood actor Duro Michael has made a fiery declaration of his readiness to dive back into the acting world after the heartbreaking loss of one of his legs. Just months ago, the actor found himself in a desperate plight, battling a severe illness and crying out for help.

His prayers were answered by Prophet Jeremiah Fufeyin, who generously covered the medical expenses leading to the amputation of Michael’s leg.

In a deeply new moving video that has set the internet ablaze, Michael passionately appealed to moviemakers for roles, asserting with unshakeable confidence that he is more than fit to return to the screen, despite his physical setback.

With a heart full of determination, he implored the industry not to overlook his capabilities and to give him the chance to prove his mettle.

In a bold move, the amputated actor was asked to demonstrate his agility and acting prowess, and he did so with remarkable vigor, earning applause and admiration from all who watched.

The video also captured the poignant moment when Michael bared the amputated part of his leg, a stark reminder of his struggle, and took a moment to profoundly thank those who stood by him through his ordeal.

Duro Michael isn’t the first actor to face leg amputation; several others have endured similar fates, including the late Mr. Ibu not long ago.

In October 2023, Mr Ibu fell ill and one of his legs was amputated to keep him alive. The amputation became necessary due to ajn infection of the arteries at the ankle that was not detected early enough. Following the amputation, the popular Nollywood actor died of cardiac arrest.
