I don’t like kissing in movies – Laide Bakare
During an interview with Saturday Beats, she expressed, “Playing romantic roles, particularly scenes with kissing and physical contact, presents distinct challenges for me. Maneuvering through the authenticity needed for such scenes while upholding professionalism can be delicate.
Juggling the script’s demands with personal comfort intensifies the complexity of these roles, necessitating a subtle approach to deliver a convincing yet respectful performance.”
Bakare additionally observed that attention was often directed more towards her profession as an actress rather than her personality.
“As an actress and filmmaker, my primary challenge has to do with navigating relationships and finding true love. Sometimes, people are attracted to my status and my profession, rather than the essence of who I am. Distinguishing genuine connections from those based on fame then becomes a delicate task.”
