Okpalan had taken to social media to lament how some thespians and crew members come to a movie set with unpleasant smells, urging them to save other people at movie locations from having to deal with such unpleasant situations.
He wrote, “You can’t come on set and be smelling like a rat poison seller under Ajah bridge! Like how can’t we breathe where you are? Abeg save our nostrils!!!”
Reacting to the post via its comment section, Fredrick Leonard agreed with him and added that deodorants should be compulsory for both cast and crew.
He went on to advise his colleagues with bad breath to make sure that they use mint or gum to tackle mouth odor.
The actor wrote, “Any human being that has a functioning brain whether cast or crew, should use 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 odor.”
