Nollywood actor cum filmmaker Frederick Leonard has said every sane human being should use deodorants compulsorily.
He stated this while reacting to a post by his colleague, Victor Okpalan on Instagram recently.
Okpalan had lamented about the attitude of some actors and crew members who come on a movie set with unpleasant smells.
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!!!”
Reacting via the comment section, Leonard said deodorants should be compulsory for both cast and crew.
He said filmmakers should also use mint or gum to tackle mouth odour.
The actor wrote, “Any human being that has a functioning brain whether cast or crew, should used deodorants, and touch up again by 5.pm so you don’t begin to smell like 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.”
