Nollywood actress Destiny Amaka has expressed her readiness to do anything required to deliver any any role, even if it involves kissing musician Portable.
In a conversation with reality TV star Uriel on Inside Scoop by Pulse, Amaka harped on the importance of delivering authentic performances, regardless of personal discomfort or challenges.
“Acting is all about delivery,” Amaka emphasized.
The people watching are not going to hear that I had menstrual cramps or I had a bad day. For me, what works is self-love. I’d fuck myself. I’d kiss myself. I turn myself on,” she explained.
She added, “So when I’m acting, it’s like we’re about to produce more self-love.”
Uriel’s surprise heightened when she asked about kissing Portable on screen, to which Amaka responded boldly,
“If it serves the story and resonates with the audience, I’m willing to go the extra mile. Whether it’s with Portable or anyone else.”
At that point, Uriel cut in, “Wait, wait, Portable? The one that sang ‘I dey on my own ooh’ with Skepta”, after which Amaka burst into a fit of laughter and confirmed.
Uriel then asked, “Wait, would you kiss Portable?” and Amaka responded,”if I was getting paid for it.”
Completely surprised by her answer, Uriel asked,”Even with your tongue?” to which the actress said, “I would kiss Portable if I was being paid for it. Okay forget the paying part, if it would interpret and deliver what we need the audience to receive, I’d do anything for the art.
