Nollywood actress Juliana Olayode has reaffirmed her refusal to participate in romantic kissing scenes with male actors, insisting that no amount of money would persuade her to compromise her personal convictions.
Speaking during an interview with Tribune, the actress said her decision is firmly rooted in her Christian faith and personal values, stressing that they remain non-negotiable regardless of financial incentives.
According to Olayode, even an offer of ₦100 million would not change her stance on kissing a man in a movie. She explained that the only person she would ever consider kissing on screen is her real-life husband.
“Even if you offer me ₦100 million, I won’t kiss any man in a movie. The only exception is if that man is my husband,” she said.
The actress noted that her position is not influenced by fear of criticism or public opinion but by her commitment to living according to her beliefs.
Olayode also emphasized that while she has chosen to avoid intimate scenes, she does not judge fellow actors who take on such roles. She said every performer should have the freedom to establish personal boundaries based on their values and the type of content they are comfortable portraying.
She maintained that respecting individual convictions within the entertainment industry is important, adding that actors should not be pressured into accepting roles that conflict with their beliefs.
Juliana Speaks on Reconciliation With Funke Akindele
In a separate interview, Olayode also opened up about the restoration of her relationship with award-winning actress and filmmaker Funke Akindele.
The actress credited God for mending their once-strained relationship, describing the reconciliation as an answer to years of prayer.
Speaking with media personality Chude Jideonwo, Olayode disclosed that her desire for reconciliation was never motivated by career opportunities or hopes of appearing in Funke’s productions.
Instead, she said her prayers were centered on rebuilding their personal relationship and being on good terms again.
According to her, Funke Akindele had supported her through difficult periods in her life, making it important for her to seek peace and restore their bond.
Olayode expressed gratitude that their relationship has been renewed, describing the experience as a testimony of God’s intervention in her life.
