Nollywood actor Jide Awobona has raised concerns about the health implications of kissing scenes in Nigerian movies, saying actors may be exposed to infections when proper health precautions are not taken
Speaking during an interview with Yanga FM, Awobona explained that intimate scenes can sometimes be uncomfortable, particularly when actors have noticeable oral hygiene problems.
He recalled an experience on set where he had to work with an actress who had bad breath.
The actor also admitted that he sometimes worries about contracting an infection while filming kissing scenes, especially when actors are unaware of each other’s health status.
He said:
“You don act with someone with mouth odor?”
“Yes, I have done it. But if you get that kind funny odor, I go japa oo. I no fit kiss you. Yes, I don act with somebody wey get mouth odor. And I go one place go wash my mouth. And the person con see me. I just dey pray make person no go contact something because I don tire,” he said.
