Nollywood actor, Saga Adeolu has shared his opinion about kissing in movies, revealing that if he had his way, he would avoid it.

Speaking in an episode of the Nolly Icons podcast, the reality star said contrary to the assumption that actors enjoy kissing each other, most actors don’t 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.

He added that actors should be commended for kissing in movies instead of being judged.
