Popular Nollywood actor, Uzor Arukwe, has emphasized the need to set clear boundaries with female colleagues, especially when filming intimate scenes.
Arukwe stated this while speaking in an interview with BBC News Igbo, explaining that he makes it a priority to discuss comfort levels with actresses before shooting such scenes.
According to him, these conversations help to prevent discomfort and maintain respect on set.
“I always discuss boundaries with any female colleague I’m asked to work with. I make sure we talk about what is acceptable before we start filming. I avoid touching areas that could make the actress or her partner uncomfortable. I am a married man,” he said.
Arukwe, who became more popular after interpreting his role as Odogwu Paranran in Omoni Oboli’s ‘Love in Every Word’, also addressed rumours linking him romantically with some of his colleagues.
He dismissed the claims, stating that his relationships with actresses are strictly professional and that he remains committed to his marriage and career.
“The rumours about different women and me are not true. What people see in movies is just part of my work. The Odogwu character I played opened more doors for me. That role brought more attention to my career. Many people now recognise me because of that character,” he added.
