"I always discuss boundaries with any female colleague I'm asked to act with.
I make sure we talk about what is acceptable before we start filming.
I avoid touching areas that could make the actress or her partner uncomfortable. I am a married man," Arukwe stated.

Many people now recognise me because of that character," he added.
