Movie producer Stanley OnTop caused a stir on Instagram when he shared a compelling video of Chinenye Eucharia on set, dressed in a school uniform and confronted with the challenge of handling a live snake for her role in the upcoming film.
Initially hesitant, Chinenye visibly displayed her trepidation before summoning a remarkable display of courage, ultimately embracing the serpent as it was draped around her neck.
With nerves of steel, she held the snake close, positioning its head near her face, a moment undoubtedly captured for what promises to be an iconic movie poster.
Stanley OnTop took to social media with a fervent outcry over the unsettling video, expressed profound concerns about the inherent danger of such a spectacle.
He directly addressed Eucharia, questioned her decision to not only handle but also pose with a live snake for filming purposes, highlighted the potential risks involved.
Articulating his apprehension, Stanley voiced fears about unforeseen circumstances that could arise from the use of live reptiles in movie scenes.
