Ghanaian actor and Deputy Executive Secretary of the National Film Authority (NFA), James Gardiner, has sparked conversation on social media following a revelation about his choice of women.
In an interview with Nollywire, shared on Instagram on August 17, 2025, Gardiner disclosed that he has no reservations about dating older women if they align with his preferences.
He explained that for him, a genuine connection matters more than age, adding that once there is a strong bond, he would not hesitate to be with an older partner.
“It depends… There is this picture we try to give women who are like that. If the person thinks the criteria for who I am looking for, I am not all about looks, by the way. But at least it shouldn’t be like I am with my mother.
“I don’t really mind if there is a connection. Age isn’t just a number… It is more about the connection. Once there is a strong connection, I don’t think every other thing matters,” he said.
After making his statement, James Gardiner clarified that he is not into sugar mommies.
“I don’t like sugar mommies, ooh,” he added.
