Moment nun pulls two girls apart kissing during shoot in Naples
Two actors locked in a kiss for a photoshoot were interrupted by a nun who seemingly came out of nowhere to scold them and accuse them of ‘devilry’.
Filming in public can unfortunately result in normal people attempting to get involved.
That was the case for actors Serena de Ferrari and Kyshan Wilson, who star in Italian show Mare Fuori, when they were attempting to pose for a magazine photoshoot.
While filming, a nun dressed in all-white habit rushed over and attempted to part the two women. You can watch what happened below:

The pair were understandably stunned by the intervention and began to laugh off the situation while the nun continued to berate them.
According to Vanity Fair Italy, the nun told the women off and repeated ‘he is the devil’, unaware that she was being filmed.
Rolling Stone Italy also reported on the incident, writing: “During a photoshoot in the Spanish Quarters of Naples, a screaming nun separated two models who were kissing.
“[She said:] ‘What are you doing? It is the devil’. The video, shot by the makeup artist, has clearly gone viral.
“The nun left after the operators' requests, and both the girls and those present laughed, even though there is little to laugh about.”
Makeup artist Roberta Mastaila, who recorded the video, told Italian media: "We were on location in the Spanish Quarter in Naples, in a little side street with the two models when all of a sudden the nun walked past.
“She asked us if we had been to Mass that day and when we said ‘no’ she started blaming young people for the coronavirus and then she saw the two models posing up ready to kiss and that’s when she ran forward to split them up.
“Our first reaction was we were all stunned… [we] took it as a bit of a joke and in fact, you can see from the video the two girls are laughing."
In an interview with NSS Magazine five months after the incident, De Ferrari reflected: "I remember we were shooting for a magazine when a crazy nun came to interrupt us.
"When I woke up the next morning, the footage was everywhere and everyone was publishing it, calling me for interviews and writing very long articles.
"I did not want to give it more credibility, I did not want to underline the unfortunately well-known bigotry of the Italian reality, and I certainly did not want to insult an elderly woman.
"Of course, it is unthinkable that these things are still happening in 2022, but I feel that our world is different from that of our grandparents and that we are changing things for the better."
UNILAD has approached Ferrari and Wilson for comment.
