A Nollywood actor, Frederick Leonard has harped on casts and crew to imbibe the habit of personal hygiene as they engage in a profession that keeps them active for hours.
The veteran actor reacted to a post by his colleague, Victor Okpalan on Instagram recently.
Okpalam had frowned at some cast and crews who come to the movie set with a foul odour.
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!!!”
Leonard reacted on the comment section, reiterating the essence of deodorant for both cast and crew.
He added that both should also understand the need for mint and gum to fight mouth odour.
He 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 a 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 odour.”
