Actor Saga Adeolu Says Those Who Kiss In Movies Deserve Praise Cos ''It’s Not Easy To Kiss Another Actor’'

Reality TV star and Nollywood actor Saga Adeolu says kissing on set is far from enjoyable and should actually earn actors some respect.

Speaking on the Nolly Icons podcast, he explained that contrary to what viewers assume, most actors do not enjoy kissing scenes, they simply do it to serve the story.

Saga revealed he has never had a good onscreen kiss despite acting in several romantic films.
He described the experience as uncomfortable and sometimes outright awkward.
According to him, actors deserve commendation, not judgment, for performing such scenes.
He said: “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.”
Saga added that while viewers may see romance, actors often see only the technical discomfort behind the scenes.
