Nollywood actor Saga Adeolu has opened up about the realities of filming intimate scenes, revealing that many actors do not actually enjoy kissing on set despite popular belief.

n

Speaking during a recent episode of the Nolly Icons podcast, the former BBNaija star said audiences often assume actors take pleasure in such moments, but the reality is far from it.

n

“It is not easy to kiss another actor. It is weird. I have not really had any good onscreen kisses. It is weird having people invade your mouth with saliva,” he said.

n

Saga explained that most actors simply carry out such scenes as part of their professional responsibility to bring scripts to life, not because they enjoy them.

n

“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.

n

“If I had my way, I won’t kiss anyone in a film. There was a day I kissed four different girls on set,” he added.

n

Despite featuring in several romantic roles, the actor admitted he has never had what he would consider a “good” onscreen kiss, stressing that the experience often feels uncomfortable rather than enjoyable.

n

He also noted that actors should be appreciated for their professionalism in handling such scenes, rather than being judged or misunderstood by viewers.
