Tiwa Savage speaks on the actor she would like to work with
Nigerian Afrobeats superstar Tiwa Savage has shared her thoughts on the type of actor she would like to work with. She emphasized the importance of good breath for any kissing scene.
Tiwa Savage insists on only kissing attractive men in her acting career. In a recent interview with CNN, the musician, who stars in the Prime Video original “Water and Garri,” mentioned that she prefers not to have kissing scenes with actors who are not “hot.”
During her conversation with Larry Madowo on CNN African Voices, Savage was asked if there was a specific actor she looked forward to working with. She admitted that she hadn’t considered anyone in particular yet.
“Anyone that’s hot. You never want to have a kissing scene with someone that’s not hot. That’s horrible, because it’s not just once, it’s over and over again. So if the person is not hot, I don’t know,” she said.
“The cheque has to be big for me to be convincing. But yeah as long as the person is hot and has good breath.”
