For several weeks, the grapevine has being buzzing with rumours of a �secret love affair� between two of Ghana�s top movie icons, John Dumelo and Joselyn Dumas, especially following their roles in Shirley Frimpong Manso�s latest movie, Love or Something Like That. The two have finally broken their silence on the simmering rumour in separate interviews with Graphic Showbiz. Dumelo in a telephone chat with this reporter said, �Yes, I have heard about the rumours and all I have to say is that, for now, we are paddies (very good friends) but anything can happen. �Joselyn is every man�s dream woman and I love how she is. She is a nice person. We talk on a daily basis and there is some chemistry between us and for that reason I would never say never because anything can happen under the sun,� Dumelo added. He gave hints about something that happened on set during the shooting of Love or Something Like That, that literally made him feel that he and Joselyn had a �thing� for each other. �You know, any time there was a kissing scene that Joselyn and I were involved in and the director shouted, �cut, cut, cut,� we continued kissing for about 30 seconds before we stopped and that should tell you that we are very close,� he said. Dumelo said currently, he is not married but he is dating a lady, whose identity he would want to keep away from the public eye. �So how would she feel if she reads all that you have said about Joselyn Dumas,� Showbiz asked Dumelo. �Well, it is just like me saying that the socialite, Kim Kardashian or singer, Beyonce is every man�s dream woman, and I love the way they are. I do not think that should upset her�. When Showbiz spoke to Josleyn about the issue, she also said she was a good friend to Dumelo, �and that is all�. �It is interesting the way people are discussing the two of us in the media. All I can say is that John and I are close friends�. She went ahead to show this reporter some �private� photographs she had taken with Dumelo to confirm their �friendship�. Commenting on the movie, Love or Something Like That, John said the Director, Shirley Frimpong Manso must have had a good reason to put the two together as husband and wife, as the rapport that exists between them helped to bring out the best in them. �People should watch the movie closely and they will see what I am talking about,� he said. f
