Noa Kirel Addresses Body Double Controversy at Israeli Series Premiere
Noa Kirel's hit series "Noa's Road" premiered in Israel, sparking renewed discussion over the use of a body double for kissing scenes and the uncertain future of her documentary project.
Noa Kirel’s hit series "Noa's Road", which captured audiences in Argentina, celebrated its grand premiere in Israel on Monday evening. Amid the flurry of red carpet interviews and a live stage performance by Kirel, attention naturally returned to the controversy surrounding a body double used during romantic kissing scenes.
As previously reported by local media, viewers noticed that an actress bearing little resemblance to the Israeli pop star appeared alongside co-star Agustín Bernasconi during the intimate sequences. Addressing the arrangement, Bernasconi maintained a pragmatic view on professional standards in television production.
"Those of us who have been working in this industry for a long time are used to it," Bernasconi stated. "We know that certain productions use body doubles, sometimes they are utilized and sometimes not. I think we are professionals who just do what we have to do, and that's it."
Beyond her acting ventures, questions lingered regarding the future of her documentary series "I Am Noa", broadcasted on Yes. Contract negotiations for a potential second season ultimately stalled, leaving fans wondering if the project would ever return. "You never know in this business," Kirel remarked regarding a possible revival, adding that while future documentary projects remain uncertain, viewers will likely see her in a similar format again.
