- A viral interview video of Nollywood actor Timini Egbuuson surfaced online
- In the viral video buzzing on social media, the actor was asked to play a game where he ranked the top 3 female kissers in Nollywood
- Following the controversial ranking of Sharon Ooja as his best, netizens have reacted to it
Nigerian actor Timini Egbuson in a viral video has ranked his colleague, Sharon Ooja, as the best female kisser in a Nollywood movie.
The actor ranked the top female best kissers in an old interview video, which was originally posted by African Movie Channel on July 3 but resurfaced recently on social media on August 26.
Timini, in the interview video, was asked to rank the best kisser among three female Nollywood actresses, which include: Sharon Ooja, Efe Irele and Bimbo Ademoye.
The host Simi Drey coordinated the game called ‘Kiss and Tell,’ off AMC Movie Talks, asking Timini to rate the three actresses on a scale of one to ten.
“I'll start with the beautiful Sharon Ooja. Sharon’s kissing game is a solid 10/10. The truth is just to make it clear, the kind of kisses that we do on screen is not the kind that she and her husband kisses. It is just from obviously what I have experienced on screen. So, it is 10/10.
Efe comes slightly behind with 8.5/10 and for Bimbo, I can't lie, Bimbo almost broke my tongue. But Bimbo is very playful especially when it comes to romance because she is my gee. Every two seconds, we are throwing jabs at each other. So, even when we have kissing scenes, because of the humour that just surrounds the environment and all, I'll give it a 6/10. “ Timini said.
Despite being an old video interview, the controversial ranking has since attracted mixed reactions from netizens, many stating that the ranking was disrespectful especially for Sharon Ooja who recently tied the knot.
Some said that some questions ought to be avoided during interviews such as this because it doesn't speak well of the actor.
Timini is a popular Nigerian actor known for his lover-boy roles in Nollywood. He is often seen in rom-com films with Bimbo Ademoye.
