Nollywood actor and reality TV star, Saga Adeolu, has opened up about the uncomfortable reality of kissing scenes in movies, revealing that contrary to public perception, actors do not enjoy them.
Speaking during an episode of the Nolly Icons podcast, Saga admitted that onscreen kissing is often awkward and unpleasant, stressing that actors only go through with it to bring scripts to life.
According to him, despite appearing in several romantic films, he has never experienced what he would call a “good” onscreen kiss.
“It is not easy to kiss another actor. It is weird. I have not really had any good onscreen kiss. It is weird having people invade your mouth with saliva,” he said.
The actor further dismissed the popular belief that actors enjoy intimate scenes, insisting that such moments are purely professional and often uncomfortable.
“It is not something we enjoy. People think we enjoy it, but we don’t. We are just doing it for the story most times. If I had my way, I won’t kiss anyone in a film,” Saga stated.
In a surprising revelation, Saga recounted a day on set when he had to kiss four different actresses, describing the experience as far from glamorous.
His comments have stirred conversations online, with many fans expressing shock at the behind-the-scenes reality of romantic scenes in Nollywood films.
