Did you know that actors sometimes engage in real kisses during TV drama shows? While it’s all part of the act, some actors have been singled out for not quite hitting the mark when it comes to onscreen smooching. Let’s take a closer look at two South African actors who have received criticism for their onscreen kissing skills:
Best known for his portrayal of ‘Tau Mohale’ on the popular SABC 1 soapie, Generations, Rapulana Seiphemo later joined Mzansi Magic’s telenovela, The Queen, as Hector Sebata. However, it appears that not all the attention he garnered was positive. Even during his Generations days, whispers circulated about Seiphemo’s less-than-ideal kissing abilities
Recently, while playing opposite Connie Ferguson’s character, Harriet, in The Queen, viewers took to Mzansi Magic’s social media pages to express their discontent. The comments flooded in, labeling Rapulana Seiphemo as “one of the worst kissers on our TV screens.”
2. Vusi Kunene
Renowned for his role as Jack Mabaso on Generations, Vusi Kunene now graces Etv’s drama series, House of Zwide, as Funani. Fans might recall a previous onscreen kiss between Jack and Tshidi (Letoya Makhene) that caused a stir, with viewers claiming Kunene’s character lacked finesse in the kissing department.
Fast forward to House of Zwide, and the complaints have persisted. Viewers of the show are now pointing fingers at Funani, played by Vusi Kunene, suggesting that he, too, falls into the category of actors who struggle with onscreen kissing.
In the world of television, onscreen chemistry is crucial, and viewers have no qualms about voicing their opinions on actors’ performances. These criticisms, however, serve as a reminder that even the most seasoned actors can find room for improvement, especially when it comes to the delicate art of onscreen kissing.
