Nollywood actor Bucci Franklin has finally reacted to his alleged relationship with colleague Sunshine Rosman. Recall that the rumours started in 2024 when both actors, who starred in AY Makun’s film “The Waiter,” shared a kiss on stage at the premiere.
At the premiere, Bucci ended his speech with “Thank you so much Sunshine for being my sunshine,” before AY jokingly urged them to kiss.
The pair obliged, leaving fans stunned and convinced that the talented actors were more than friends.
However, in a recent chat with Chude Jideonwo, Bucci dismissed the claim and set the record straight.
According to him, the kiss he shared with Sunshine at the premiere was not a confirmation of any real-life romance between them.
He stressed that he only locked lips at the event because they were an item in AY’s movie.
“Confirmed from where? I didn’t get that memo. There was a kiss because we were both an item in the film,” he said.

Bucci, however, said that he is Rosman’s biggest fan, stating that he really enjoys sharing the screen with her.
He concluded by saying that he is looking forward to shooting many more movies with the stunning actress.
“I’d say I am her biggest fan and I enjoy sharing the screen with her. She is part Nigerian. I look forward to creating more cinematic memories with her,” Bucci said.
On how acting started for him, “I started from church. In my formative years, I was attending ECWA. Imagine being the only teenager in the men’s fellowship drama group, performing with men in their 50s right there on the pulpit where baptisms were held.
When I think about my experience as a child growing up and having different encounters with my Heavenly Father as regards my job, I know. I don’t need a soothsayer or somebody with a silver tongue. I know,” he added.
