However, his manager, Moses Allen, has now addressed the concerns, insisting there is no cause for alarm.
Speaking in an interview with Premium Times, Allen explained that many people misunderstood Anuku because of his unique personality and artistic lifestyle.
According to him, the veteran actor often immerses himself in imaginative situations that can easily be misinterpreted by those watching from a distance.
"So I understand you guys might have seen a video and then care to ask. It's better to ask than to start making presumptions," Allen said.
He added that creative people often think differently from the average person.
He stated:
"Hanks is a character; he's an actor. Most of what he does is in a different world of his own. People mistake it for madness or craziness. No. An artist is actually never really normal because your presence is in a different creative realm."
Allen stressed that there was nothing unusual about the actor sitting quietly by the roadside while talking to himself.
"What is wrong with someone sitting down by the grass and talking to himself while having a drink? Maybe he was rehearsing or imagining a scenario."
Allen maintained that Anuku remains responsible and committed to his family despite the public perception created by viral clips.
According to him, the actor has never been in a better mental state.
He added:
"I've been his manager for years. Kindly let the world know that the legend Hanks Chukwuemeka Anuku is sound and has, in fact, never been in a better mental state than now."
The manager also challenged critics to speak directly with the actor before making assumptions about his health.
