James Moore wants fans to stop trying to kiss him without consent

OHMYGOSSIP — James Moore wants fans to stop trying to kiss him and “respect others boundaries”.
The ‘Emmerdale’ actor – who plays Ryan Stocks on the soap after making his debut in June last year – has opened up about the importance of “consent”, although he added it shouldn’t be something he has to tell people.
Taking to Twitter, he said: “I feel like this shouldn’t need to be said, but sometimes I meet people who try to kiss me – and while I appreciate the sentiment of it I think it’s important to respect others boundaries and ask, no matter who they are – because consent, in any form, is so important.”
The soap star later added to his message after getting some criticism over his initial tweet.
James revealed some follower had branded him a “snowflake” for speaking out about consent, and he insisted the backlash “just adds” to the need for someone to open up.
He added: “The fact that people are complaining about this tweet and calling me a snowflake and taking the mick just adds to the fact that there are actually people out there that don’t take these kind of issues of consent seriously and that can be a very real problem.”
Last month, James scooped the Newcomer prize at the National Television Awards for his role as Ryan, and after the ceremony the actor – who suffers from ataxic cerebral palsy – urged fans not to “feel sorry” for him because of his disability.
He tweeted: “Please don’t feel sorry for me. I’m not struggling, I haven’t had a hard life especially not for the past few years.I’m happy. Having a disability doesn’t mean we’re unhappy, or we need sympathy. (sic)”
