Nollywood actress Sophia Chisom, popularly known as Soso, has said actors are supposed to engage in onscreen kisses solely for professionality and not seeking pleasure.
The actress stated this while reacting to the complaint by some actors that they have never had a good kiss in the movie industry.
Speaking in an interview with TVC, Soso said it is difficult for any male colleague to get a good kiss from her because she doesn’t involve her tongue during onscreen kisses.
She explained that she often close her teeth and use just her lips when shooting a kissing scene, stressing that she’s very conscious of who she exchanged saliva with.
“I don’t know if people kiss with their tongues but I do not kiss with my tongue. My teeth are always close during kissing scenes so it is just the lips. But because it is an act, we have to make it believable.
“Some people kiss with their tongues but I don’t think it is okay to swap saliva with every single person that you shoot with. Besides, it is a job. So whenever I see a colleague complaining that they didn’t get a good kiss it is weird. You are not supposed to get a good kiss, it is a job,” she remarked.
Recently, some Nollywood actors including Saga Adeolu, Soso’s frequent collaborator, have come out to say that onscreen kisses are not pleasurable, stressing that they are yet to get a good kiss in the movie industry.
