David Bossman, a Ghanaian actor famous for his role as BB in the popular TV series "Things We Do for Love," has made a surprise return to social media after a long absence from the entertainment industry. In July 2026, he shared a video on Facebook showcasing his current appearance, which caught fans off guard. Many were surprised by how much he has changed since his acting days. Bossman is now working as a marketing strategist, creative, and event producer.

Rather than announcing a comeback to acting, Bossman is focusing on a new career path. In the Facebook video, he spoke directly to the camera in a confident tone, positioning himself as a Marketing Strategist and Creative. He helps small businesses build professional digital presences, emphasizing the limitations of relying solely on social media as a business tool. His message centered on the need for a system, such as a website with professional booking software.

Bossman's new career involves promoting business tools for small entrepreneurs. He outlined a suite of services, including missed-call text-back automation, appointment reminders, and tools for generating Google review requests. He urged viewers to comment "systems" for a link to book a free strategy session. This new path is a far cry from the dramatic storylines that made him a household name, but his charisma in front of the camera remains.

David Bossman rose to prominence in the early 2000s after featuring as "BB" in the popular Ghanaian teen drama series "Things We Do For Love."
