Nollywood actor Frederick Leonard has called out his colleagues for their body odour, urging them to prioritize personal hygiene on set.
The actor responded to a post by fellow actor Victor Okpalan, who lamented about the attitude of some actors and crew members who come to a movie set with unpleasant smells.
In his comment on Okpalan’s post, Leonard recommended that everyone should use deodorants to avoid awful smells, and also use mint or gum to tackle mouth odour.
He added his colleagues should do the needful and avoid making others uncomfortable and struggling to breathe around them.
He wrote, “You can’t come onset and smelling like a rat poison seller under Ajah bridge!
“Like how can’t we breathe where you are? Abeg save our nostrils!!!”
Reacting via the comment section, Leonard said deodorants should be compulsory for both cast and crew to avoid awful smells.
He added that Nollywood stars should also use mint or gum to tackle mouth odour.
He emphasized that personal hygiene is crucial, particularly in a profession that requires being on one’s feet for a minimum of 14 hours.
The actor wrote, “Any human being that has a functioning brain whether cast or crew, should use deodorants, and touch up again by 5.pm so you don’t begin to smell like goat.
“For a profession that requires that we are constantly on our feet for a minimum of 14 hours, common sense should apply. …And let’s not forget mint or gum to fight mouth odor.”
