13 actors who refused to kiss their peers
For poor oral hygiene, for being married or for not ruining the reputation of the film ... the reasons are many.
When we watch a movie, it's great to feel the chemistry between the leads, but what happens when this actually happens? Maybe you don't really realize it, due to their acting quality, but not everything is as beautiful as they appear. There are actors who have refused to kiss their co-stars for a variety of reasons ranging from discomfort to strict production rules.
All of them tell it without problems since they have the confidence to say it, since their colleagues know it, but how uncomfortable can it be? Well, for many of them it was enough in their time and for others not so much. Meet these 13 actors and actresses who preferred to refuse a kiss so as not to risk cordiality and respect on set.
Toby Maguire to Kirsten Dunst
This was in Spiderman, but it was not out of hatred or similar problems, simply because he believed that it was uncomfortable to kiss her head and completely wet and as much as they gave him solutions, he did not understand. Dunst helped him by practicing together with him and as we know the scene is wonderful.
Kirsten Dunst to Brad Pitt
She hated with all her heart kissing Brad Pitt on Interview With The Vampire because it was her first kiss and she was only 11 years old. He explained that she was part of her job, but if she wasn't comfortable she could skip the scene somehow; however, she did it quickly and they did not discuss the matter again.
Emma Watson and Rupert Grint
For this pair it was very difficult to have a romantic scene in the Harry Potter saga since during the final kiss they felt very committed to each other. They tell themselves that it made them laugh or that they just got too sorry and couldn't do it well, so they had to repeat it many times until it finally came out.
Josh Hutcherson to Jennifer Lawrence
The actor confessed that the actress is bad at kissing because she makes it quite violent, she also has poor oral hygiene and bad breath. This was not only said by Hutcherson, but also by Liam Hemsworth who hated love scenes with her colleague, because she also ate garlic or onion before the shot to make them uncomfortable.
Reese Witherspoon to Robert Pattinson
The actress confessed that her Water for Elephants costar had bad breath and was dirty to kiss. The romanticism that they emit in each take is the product of a good acting on her part, since she declared she would never do it again. Although they get along well, he knows that Reese has some misgivings about him from the experience.
Will Smith to an Unknown Actor
In his early years in acting, Smith played a gay man in Six Degrees of Separation. So, he didn't want to kiss his partner because he was a man. Today, he claims that he feels bad about it because it was a homophobic reaction of which he is not proud.
Brad Pitt to Cate Blanchet
At that time he did not want to give any displeasure to his wife Angelina Jolie, so he refused to kiss the actress for fear that Jolie would find out about her and be angry with her. According to some witnesses, Angelina prohibited him from kissing certain actresses that she could consider competition, even professional.
Denzel Washington to Julia Roberts
He had no problem, neither did she. They were good friends and were willing to kiss when they worked on The Pelican Brief; however, the director feared that prejudices would attack them and the film would be a resounding failure. When he was filming it, he agreed to let Denzel and Julia kiss, but the actor refused to avoid setbacks and that it could become the classic piece that we know today.
Priyanka Chopra to Annu Kapoor
The actor is 26 years older than the model and for that very reason, she decided that she did not want to have any kind of negative reputation. Many people criticized her because some time after she married Nick Jonas, a boy much younger than her but it was not the same as a fictional kiss that could cost her career as an actress to a marriage full of love.
Jennifer Lawrence to Chris Pratt
His performance was so magnificent that Jenn felt that they were actually living what the fiction dictated. That is why she herself felt guilt in the love scenes since he was married. For her it was such a real “relationship” that she even thought about apologizing to Anna Faris, Chris Pratt's then wife.
Ryan Gosling to Rachel McAdams
Although as a result of Diary of a Passion they became boyfriends and that - it is said in the halls of Hollywood - she considers him the love of her life, at first they did not like each other and the relationship on set was somewhat tense. So much so that he did the impossible to get cast from the film.
Leonardo DiCaprio to Kate Winslet
Although they are her best friends and her roles in Titanic made them one of the most epic couples in the movie world, on Revolutionary Road he steadfastly refused to kiss her. No one understood why, if there was enough trust. Then the director, Sam Mendes, confronted him and he confessed that it was her fault since he is Kate's husband.
Lindsay Lohan to Charlie Sheen
Both appeared in Scary Movie 3 in a bed, where they supposed to have intimate relations and some passionate kisses, but she refused to do so because of the "bad reputation" of the actor. The scenes were made by a stuntman.
All of them broke the work rules and refused to kiss their colleagues, but in the end they preferred to maintain harmony in the workplace. Thanks to that we have good films that perhaps would not have been the same with a simple and concise kiss.
