Don Little snubs traditional executioner’s handshake
In a viral TikTok video seen by YEN.com.gh on Monday, October 27, 2025, Don Little was spotted with his colleague Big Akwes as they had a friendly conversation.
During their interaction, a traditional executioner approached the two Kumawood actors for a handshake. After shaking hands with Big Akwes, the executioner attempted a similar gesture with the diminutive actor.
He referred to Don Little as a “small boy” due to his diminutive stature. However, his remarks did not go down well with the actor, who appeared to be angered by what he deemed as disrespectful.
The actor, believed to be over 30 years of age, signalled to the executioner that he was not interested in a handshake and told him to move on from him. Despite the executioner’s attempts to correct his mistakes, the actor refused to reconsider his decision and shake his hands.
He immediately pulled his hand as the elderly man forcibly attempted to shake his hands.
