Nollywood actress Mary Lazarus has expressed how comfortable she was kissing and touching colleague, Efe Iwara, on the set of a new film, ‘Lockdown Heat.’

In an exclusive chat with The Nation, Lazarus explained that she’s close with Iwara and when the ‘Lockdown Heat’ script demanded they kiss, touch, and hold each other as lovers, she didn’t find anything wrong with it.

“Yes, in the movie there was a lot of smooching but I feel comfortable with my co-actor, Efa Iwara,” she began.

“He is my friend, so I was up-close and everything is natural because that is how we vibe… so nothing,”

Lazarus, a Geography graduate from the University of Ibadan, also revealed that she is a twin.

The actress featured as the lead female character in Seun Oloketuyi’s new film, ‘Lockdown Heat,’ which was directed by Samuel Bigsam Olatunji.

Other acts in the film include Omowunmi Dada, Bolanle Ninalowo, Debo Macaroni, Ada Ukoh, and Gbenga Adeyinka.

“Lockdown Heat” follows the story of two, young, attractive neighbours of opposite sexes who find themselves embroiled in a shotgun romance as a result of the COVID-19 inspired lockdown.

As unlikely bedfellows, after the easing of the lockdown, they must decide if what they feel is true love, or merely a convenient romance in the heat of the season.
