I lost movie role for refusing director’s kiss — Omoni Oboli

Nollywood Actress and filmmaker, Omoni Oboli




Actress and filmmaker Omoni Oboli has disclosed how she lost a movie role due to her refusal to kiss a film director.

In an interview on AY Makun’s Glasshouse show, Omoni revered the incident, which occurred when she returned to Nigeria after taking a break to raise her children.

She revealed that a director proposed she give him a lip-to-lip kiss in exchange for the role.

Despite being comfortable with scripted kissing scenes, Omoni said she turned down the offer, making it clear she wouldn’t kiss him unless it was part of the script.

She said her refusal cost her the role, which equally defeated the purpose for her returning to Nigeria at the time. (The Nation)
