Benson Okonkwo confesses – I couldn’t control my feelings on movie set

Actors usually claim that what happens is always make believe.

But we have seen time and time again that a chemistry sometimes happens from set especially after acting together in romance scenes which often leads to a relationship afterwards. A prime example is the case of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie.

Nollywood actor Benson Okonkwo in a recent interview said he gets aroused on set while playing some of his controversial roles with female actresses and gave an example of one such moment:

"Having an erection while acting a romance scene on set was my most embarrassing experience. When the go-ahead signal was given, I and the actress got into the character of two lovers and we were in a parlor and started kissing and smooching. In fact my trousers were half way down but I was still wearing my shirt while she had removed her top, but believe me, she was so busty that what I saw turned me on, and I presume, that made me have an erection.

She felt my thing when it came up but we had to be professional and ignored it. I guess the girl's big breast did that to me.  I knew it was mere acting but I am human and I still have blood flowing in my veins. She noticed my erection and she just kept laughing. I guess she was surprised; the cast and crew members also laughed and made fun of me and I was a bit embarrassed. To me, that is the most embarrassing moment of my acting career."

Considering his revelation, should spouses allow their partners to play such roles in movies knowing emotions can sometimes not be contained? What do you think?

"Yes, that is what the master says but one day Bawa told me he had seen the Whiteman plucking the oranges one early morning and that it was just a he he told us," Tanko said. "So you boys went to pluck the oranges?" Sule asked. "Not immediately, I had to be sure myself Every morning, we would wake up and sneak to the cathedral and hide there and watch till day light.

"Can we go to get some?" Garba asked. Tanko laughed. "If you are caught, six strokes of the cane on your bare buttocks," Tanko said. But I can't believe this," Sule said.
