Heartbreaking Footage: Alex Ekubo’s Last Smile on a Movie Set
Nollywood star Alex Ekubo passed away on May 11 after a battle with cancer. As fans mourn his loss, a video from earlier this year has gone viral. In the clip, Alex arrives thirty minutes late on set and warmly greets the cast and crew. He’s filming with producer-director Dabby Chimere and instantly lights up the room with his trademark joy. Many had hoped his February appearance in the film Adanne would mark a major comeback. Instead, this final glimpse of his happiness now carries extra poignancy for supporters. Friends and colleagues had noticed his absence from social media since 2024. In January, close friend Oma Nnadi reassured fans that Alex was healthy and well, reminding everyone that life doesn’t always play out online.
