Actress, Roselyn Ngissah is moving for actors to be immunised against hepatitis before kissing in movies. As a guest on Late Night Celebrity show hosted by Forster Romanus on eTV, Roselyn
was joined by actress/producer Chichi Neblet.
According to her, to kiss in movies carries health implications, which include contracting diseases like hepatitis B. It is, thus, dangerous to kiss in a movie with someone whose health status is not
known, she claims.
“I think what we should actually be looking out for is artistes immunizing themselves against hepatitis since you get that through kissing. You might play a role with someone whose lips are sweet but you don’t know what he or she is carrying. I think the hep- things must be checked,” she said.
Roselyn was on ETV to shed light on her role in the new movie, ‘Brown Sugar-The Wedding’, which will premiere on September 1 at the Silverbird Cinemas in Accra. Chichi, in her response to Forster on whether kisses in movies are real said her kisses in the movies are real and she enjoyed her kissing scenes in ‘Brown Sugar-The Wedding’. However, she recalled an awkward moment on one of the sets of another movie when she rejected to kiss an actor, who she alleged had “saliva dripping lips.”
Roselyn, on the other hand, pointed out that she doesn’t kiss for real. Rather, she acts her kisses.
“I hardly do romantic movies. With the little that I have done, the first thing I ask is who am I doing this with it because it is very important. So I haven’t met any saliva dripping person yet but I always act kissing because a lot is involved when I am kissing for real. And that expression for real when I am kissing I don’t give it all out when I am acting. That is why I said I act kissing,” she revealed.
For her to, however, kiss for real, she thinks the system must get actors to immunise themselves before going on set.
