Jussie Smollett appeared tense during a heated phone call on his Hawaii getaway, telling a pal 'it's over, I got off' after all charges against him were dropped. 

The 36-year-old Empire actor was spotted pacing back and forth during the animated chat and could be heard insisting: 'I did not do any of this. The charges were dropped.'   

In the footage Jussie, wearing an all black outfit with white sneakers, can be seen walking around a parking lot. An onlooker said: 'He was saying "Ryan, Ryan. You have to believe me".'  

The star appeared tense during the conversation, which took place during his family vacation to the islands and came just days after he was pictured all smiles on a trip to the beach.

Smollett's family were dining in a nearby restaurant during the phone call, according to eyewitnesses.   

It was a stark difference from the pictures last week which showed the actor laughing, chatting to his sisters and unloading a car for a fun-filled day at the beach.
