For those who don't know Benson, the easiest way to remember him is this; he was one of the actors who played a gay role in Nollywood's first soft porn gay movie - Pregnant Hawker. Find it HERE. Benson has since said he's not gay and has actually been in a long term relationship with the woman he's planning to marry. Benson and Emelda Emells (pictured above) have been dating for over 8 years and have picked a December wedding date.
Benson recently told Vanguard that despite playing a gay role and playing well, he is not gay!
"I am not bi-sexual, neither am I homosexual. I have dated my girl for close to eight years now. So far so good. I plan to take her to the altar someday. Besides I am from a Christian home. I wasn't taught a habit like that by my family. And looking for money can not push me to do that.

Gunmen have killed 44 people inside a mosque, in Borno state, northeast Nigeria, officials say.
The killings took place during dawn prayers on Sunday morning, although news only emerged on Monday. The attack occurred in Konduga in Borno state, 35km (22 miles) from the state capital Maiduguri.
About 26 people were also injured. They were receiving treatment in Maiduguri.
It was not clear who was responsible for the shootings.
But the Boko Haram militants remain the chief suspects.
The Islamist group Boko Haram has killed thousands in northern Nigeria since 2009.
A member of a civilian vigilante group told the Associated Press that four of their number were killed when they responded to calls for help.
Twelve further civilians were killed at Ngom village, closer to Maiduguri, reports say.
