Nigerian actor and former reality TV star Saga Adeolu has stirred conversation after revealing that actors don’t actually enjoy kissing scenes while filming.

In a recent interview cited by outlets similar to Punch Newspapers and Linda Ikeji Blog, Saga explained that what many viewers see as romantic moments are often highly technical and sometimes uncomfortable behind the scenes.

According to him, multiple takes, camera angles, crew presence, and strict directing make such scenes more like “work” than pleasure. He noted that professionalism, not emotions, drives actors during intimate scenes.

The revelation has sparked mixed reactions online, with fans expressing surprise at the reality behind movie romance, while others say it highlights the discipline required in the acting industry.

Industry observers say Saga’s comments offer a rare glimpse into the less glamorous side of filmmaking, challenging common assumptions about on-screen chemistry.
