When South African actress Thembi Seete made her debut on the Showmax original TV series Adulting, many were taken aback by how graphic the sex scenes were that the 47-year-old depicted.
Many people have been surprised by the series’ sex scenes, which have been posted as snippets on social media, some of which have gone viral worldwide.
In the testosterone-fueled drama, which revolves on four varsity mates in Johannesburg who manage navigating a career, dating pool exploration, and all in between, former Idols SA judge Seete plays Portia.
As they try to grow as men, finding love, success and the best nightlife spots in Jozi, they turn to one another for laughs and support.
While the series has a star-studded cast, it is Seete’s scenes that have people talking on social media.
“Those scenes hurts like she cheated on me … Sis Thembi Seete,” one X user posted while another said: “That Thembi Seete clip broke my heart. My childhood crush being folded like rizzla paper.”
Before the series aired, Seete spoke about how it took her out of her comfort zone.
“I’ve never played a rich, spoilt and glamorous lady. It’s always been township-based and I like to believe Portia also has a township background because I brought in that element as well. That’s the only part where I felt like this character is bringing something new.
“My intimate scenes have never been this intimate. It felt like it was my first time acting and that’s the beauty of acting. You can’t say you’re comfortable with it because acting introduces you to different characters and different personalities.
“The things you get to do are always different. So with this one, it came with a lot of things that shook me a bit and made me uncomfortable. But I also love being uncomfortable.”
