Nollywood luminary Charles Okocha has set the online realm ablaze with his enthusiastic embrace of Big Brother Naija Pepper Dem winner, Mercy Eke, during a movie shoot.
The actor and comedian took to Instagram to share a video capturing an intimate moment between them, featuring kisses and playful gestures, with Charles playfully urging the director to reshoot the scene.
In the clip, Charles Okocha cheekily declares, “Director, don’t stop, this night is the best night of the production, let’s reshoot.” The actor seems to revel in the romantic scene, dubbing it the highlight of the entire production.
The online community responded with a mix of amusement and commentary, drawing parallels to Wizkid’s expressed desire to venture into acting for similar romantic moments on screen. Fans flooded the comment section, with some playfully noting that Wizkid’s aspirations now seemed more understandable.
Award-winning singer Wizkid had previously shared his interest in joining Nollywood, citing a desire to engage in on-screen kissing and gunplay. This revelation prompted a cascade of reactions online, with Charles Okocha’s recent escapade only adding fuel to the speculation.
Charles Okocha isn’t the first to enjoy an on-screen kiss with Mercy Eke. Earlier, On Air Personality Nedu shared a similar video, recounting his excitement and playfully urging Mercy to step up her game during their on-screen smooch. However, not all fans were pleased, as they scrutinized the discomfort evident in Mercy Eke’s reaction and humorously questioned Nedu’s dental hygiene during the shoot.
