Ghanaian actor and producer Prince David Osei has recounted an experience where he declined to kiss a fellow actress because of her extremely bad breath.
He explained that while on set, he refused to go through with the kissing scene after realizing the actress had a strong mouth odor, comparing the smell to that of a manhole. Prince David Osei said he alerted the director, claiming he had bleeding gums to avoid the scene.
“We’re all involved in creative work, so you can’t have bad mouth or body odor and come that close to me. It concerns my health, so I won’t do it. I’ll inform the director and tell him I have bleeding gums. I actually did that with an actress on set. Her breath was terrible—like a manhole—and I told the director I wouldn’t kiss her. Even during rehearsals, just getting close to her was unbearable,” he said.
The actor, often referred to as a ladies’ man, added that this experience has made him more cautious when filming romantic scenes.
He further mentioned that he has never been aroused while on set.
