Nollywood actress, Etinosa Idemudia, has opined that passionate kissing and hugging scenes in Nollywood are no different from any other scenes in a movie.
Naijaonpoint reports that Etinosa made this known during an interview with Punch.
While speaking on the growing conversation about how intimacy scenes are handled in Nollywood, Etinosa stated that, as a professional actor, one should be able to enter a character and come out of it easily.
The thespian added that she does not feel anything during intimacy scenes.
She said, “Intimacy scenes in Nollywood are like any other scenes. Once the director says “cut,” everyone is normal.
“As a professional actor, you should be able to enter your character and come out of it easily. When you hear “action,” you perform. When you hear “cut,” you detach.
“Kissing and hugging passionately is a performative act. You can do it without thinking about it or feeling anything. That is where acting comes in. It is not registered in your mind as something erotic.
“Most times, I am thinking about whether the scene looks good enough on screen. It is more calculative than intimate.
“Even though it looks real, I do not feel anything during intimate scenes because it is a mind thing. When your mind is tuned to your job, you do not get carried away.”
