Super star singer, Tiwa Savage spilled the tea on her steamy scene in her debut flick, ‘Water and Garri’, dishing out details on how she nailed her role!
Tiwa Savage opened up in a fresh BET interview, chatting about the movie’s finale, the romantic moments, and hinting at her potential future in film.
Speaking on what attracted her to the ‘Water and Garri’ script, Tiwa Savage said: “I love the story. I love the story of coming back. I love the story of finding yourself again.
“It’s not such a happy ending, but then, in life you don’t always have happy endings. So, I loved that. And then I loved that it had a love twist to it. All of those elements were just very beautiful to me.“
Speaking about the spicy scenes, how sometimes she forgot she and co-star were not really dating, She said: “I have a love interest in this movie and sometimes, if we’re like on set, I’d have to remember “that is not your boyfriend Tiwa” [laughs]. You need to calm down. And then my real-life boyfriend at the time would come on set and I would be like “what is he doing here?” [laughs]. We’re not together anymore though, so he can hear this.
“The first day on set I had my kissing scene. I’m glad it was my first day because I just went right into it. I remember in my dressing room, I brushed my teeth like five, six times because I was like I needed to represent. But, he was very lovely. All of the cast was. They were really really nice.”
Asked if she’ll be doing more films following Water and Garri, Tiwa Savage said: “Listen, I’ve told everyone, film cheques are good. So, I’ve got like ten scripts in my head. I have other stories I’m working on.”
