Nollywood actor and reality TV star Saga Adeolu has opened up about his experience with romantic scenes in films, admitting that kissing on set is far from enjoyable.
Speaking during an episode of the Nolly Icons podcast, the actor challenged the common belief that actors take pleasure in such moments, explaining that most simply do it to bring scripts to life.
According to him, kissing scenes can be uncomfortable and unnatural, despite how they may appear on screen.
“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.
He added that actors are often misunderstood, as many assume they enjoy these moments when, in reality, they are just fulfilling professional obligations.

“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 added.
Prompt News reports Saga also noted that actors deserve appreciation rather than criticism for performing such scenes, given the level of discomfort involved.
