The Nigerian film industry has been hit with another devastating loss as Nollywood actor Big Larry has passed away.
The heartbreaking news was shared by Nollywood producer Stanley Nwoke, also known as Stanley Ontop, who posted the announcement on his Instagram account. Though the cause of Big Larry’s death remains unknown, tributes have begun pouring in from fans and fellow actors alike.
Stanley Ontop wrote:
Breaking News: Nollywood actor Big Larry just passed away. Je nke Oma big. What caused his demise is yet to be ascertained. May your soul rest in peace, Big Larry. Nollywood Asaba mourns. Shalom!!”
Tributes quickly flooded social media. Actress Destiny Etiko, reacting to the news, expressed her shock by simply writing, “Jesus.” Other fans and colleagues left messages such as “Beyond shattered” and “May his soul rest in peace.”
Big Larry’s death marks another heartbreaking moment for Nollywood, which has suffered a string of losses this year. Just last month, iconic singer Onyeka Onwenu tragically passed away after collapsing at an event. In June, veteran actress Stella Ikwuegbu succumbed to leg cancer, followed by the loss of veteran actor Dayo Adewunmi. Earlier in the year, Zulu Adigwe, Junior Pope, and several others passed away under tragic circumstances.
The industry continues to reel from these losses, as fans and colleagues struggle to come to terms with the constant grief that has overshadowed the year.
