Nollywood actress and media personality Nancy Isime has highlighted the kind of actors she likes to share intimate scenes with and the reason she never enjoys sex or kissing scenes in movies.
When people saw a scene in Shanty Town starring the actress and veteran actor Richard Mofe-Damijo in which the latter touched the actress' boobs, they became upset about the actress, and before long it was discovered that the scene had been staged.
Isime made it clear when discussing instances like this that many people believe actors and actresses enjoy and like sex and kiss scenes. The actress expressed her hatred for sex and kissing scenes in an interview with media personality Dadaboy, saying that they are just scripts.
She also added she prefers to share such scenes with veteran actors since they are always professional about it.
She said, "Well, it's a script, and yes, I do kiss in movies. But why will I enjoy it? 5,000 people around you. Enjoy what? I never enjoy doing anything. There are cameras around; it's a scene. I prefer to actually have kissing scenes with seasoned actors who understand the professionalism of a kissing scene or a sex scene.
"Sex scene, of course, because everybody is all dressed up, but there is movement." So there are literally people who understand the job, are focused, and are literally just running through a script."
When asked if she would ever go topless for a role, she said, "I don’t know. I don’t know, that’s the truth. I don’t know. I’ve not been met with that kind of script. It has to be for a scene that is probably not sexual. Probably something that maybe something is happening. Like Blood Sisters now. [Something like] there’s a killer coming so there’s too much suspense for you to even look at my breast. Do you understand?
"Let me tell you something: look at Blood Sisters. They saw the side of my boob, that is enough for them to say "oh look at that scene", but nobody talked about it because the next thing fiam fiam, it’s too much, that’s what I’m saying. That kind of scenario where it’s totally necessary. But for a sex scene, I can depict sex without you know, body being open."
In the Nigerian film industry, there has been much discussion about how sex is portrayed. Some have argued that this is culturally inappropriate, while others have argued that it is art.
