Tiwa Savage, the leading star of Prime Video’s original series “Water and Garri,” has disclosed her preference for attractive co-stars in her acting roles.
Speaking in an interview on CNN, Savage stated her dislike to kissing scenes with individuals she deems unattractive while affirming the importance of her co-star’s physical appeal and good breath.
During her conversation with Larry Madowo on CNN African Voices, when asked about her ideal acting partner, Savage expressed openness to any actor meeting her criterion of attractiveness.
She revealed the discomfort of repeated kissing scenes with someone lacking physical appeal, stating,
“Anyone 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.
“The cheque has to be big for me to be convincing. But yeah as long as the person is hot and has good breath.”
Also, Savage emphasised the importance of financial compensation, suggesting that a huge paycheck could sway her commitment to a role.
Nonetheless, her primary criteria remained centered on the attractiveness and hygiene of her co-stars.
This interview coincides with the recent release of “Water and Garri,” which premiered on Prime Video on May 10, 2024.
