Reality TV star and actor Saga Deolu has spoken about how kissing scenes in films are often misunderstood, saying many actors do not enjoy them and only do it for storytelling purposes.
Speaking in an episode of the Nolly Icons podcast, Saga said contrary to the assumption that actors enjoy kissing each other, most actors do not but just doing it for better script interpretation.
Saga said he has never had a good onscreen kiss despite featuring in several romantic movies.
“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.
“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… There was a day I kissed four different girls on set,” he said.
Saga has shared onscreen kiss scenes with actresses including Uche Montana and Sophia Chisom, also known as Soso.
He added that actors should be commended for kissing in movies instead of being judged.
Saga, who rose to prominence on Big Brother Naija Shine Ya Eye, has since moved into acting and content creation.
