Sandra Okunzuwa, a Nigerian actress, has said that she is usually careful when it comes to kissing in movies.
According to her, she was taught when kissing another actor, there should not be any form of tongue contact, to avoid the exchange of saliva.
She told Saturday Beats, “I was told that the individuals could just play with their lips and eyes, then moan to give the impression that they were doing something really intense. I have always abided by that, and I avoid any form of tongue contact or exchange of saliva, because I don’t know who that other person has been with. I don’t know their medical condition.
“Sometimes, people ask if I get emotionally attached to any actor that I kiss. The answer is actually ‘no’, because the place that one is filming in is not even so conducive. The air conditioner is off, and the lighting usually makes one feel hot. Besides, there are a lot of people in the same room behind the camera watching, what one is doing. This is even as one is sweating and trying to memorise one’s lines.”
Asked about the highlight of her year so far, Okunzuwa said, “One of my highlights of the year was when I produced the movie, ‘Something like Gold’. From the feedback I got, people loved and enjoyed it. This is my fifth year in the industry, and producing a box office movie that is doing well is definitely one of my highlights. I also started my YouTube channel, which I had been procrastinating on for years.”
