According to celebrities, kissing their costar for the cameras is nothing like a kiss in real life. Actors and actresses have no choice but to follow the script, so it is up to them to make the kiss look real. However, physical attraction and chemistry sometimes play a part in the task. We don’t blame them because there are so many attractive people in Hollywood! However, you would be surprised to hear that it is not always fun to get into a lip lock with a costar. We hope you are ready to hear some nasty stuff about your favorite celebrities. You would never have thought they were such bad kissers!
Brad Pitt & Cate Blanchett
There are times when good acting and physical chemistry are not the only things that come into play during an on-screen kiss. Apparently, Brad had received specific instructions not to kiss Cate Blanchett before they started working on The Curious Case of Benjamin Button together.
Brad Pitt & Cate Blanchett
This was not handed down by anyone on the set. He was instructed to avoid this by his wife at the time: Angelina Jolie! She could not stand the idea, apparently. Was there already trouble in paradise then?
Tom Cruise & Thandie Newton
Tom Cruise is yet another Hollywood heartthrob who has stolen the hearts of many people over the years. We bet many ladies would not hesitate to queue around the block if it meant sharing a smooch with this good-looking actor.
Tom Cruise & Thandie Newton
However, these women have never seen all the cuts they had to take while filming Mission: Impossible II. Apparently, the crew had a tough time capturing a passable kiss between him and Thandie Newton. The actor said his kisses were “so slobbery” that it would have grossed anyone out!
Marilyn Monroe & Tony Curtis
Marilyn Monroe might just be the ultimate dream girl of all the men in the world. Wouldn’t you love to kiss her? However, a costar of hers begged to differ. This Hollywood bachelor did not enjoy their kiss!
Marilyn Monroe & Tony Curtis
When they were working on Some Like It Hot, there were many things Tony Curtis could have complained about. Keep in mind that he had to dress in women’s clothes, don women’s shoes, and speak octaves higher than normal. However, we would never have thought that anyone would complain about kissing the most desired woman on the planet!
Harrison Ford & Carrie Fisher
When they released the first movie in the Star Wars, fans swooned over the scenes Harrison Ford and Carrie Fisher shared as Han Solo and Princess Leia. Everyone appreciated the relationship even if they did not kiss! However, Fisher eventually disclosed that she and the actor had something going on behind the scenes. In the end, the two of them decided to split up before they were done with the trilogy.
Harrison Ford & Carrie Fisher
It seems like the real-life relationship between them had been looking a little ‘scruffy-looking’ by the time the romance heated up in the series. We are sure the staged kissing did not help things either.
Leonardo DiCaprio & Claire Danes
If you are a fan of Leonardo DiCaprio, we bet you would not mind paying good money to go to the cinema just so you can stare at his face! Depending on the movie, you might even catch one that shows the actor in a lip lock. Perhaps there was a time when you wished you could be the one he was kissing!
Leonardo DiCaprio & Claire Danes
However, a number of his costars have reported that it is not all that. In fact, Claire Danes allegedly could not stand the actor when they starred in Romeo & Juliet all those years ago.
Angelina Jolie & James McAvoy
According to rumors, the Brangelina breakup did not only affect their personal lives but their professional ones as well! They had to negotiate the terms of filming just so they could protect the feelings of the other person.
Angelina Jolie & James McAvoy
What do you think it was like when Angelina Jolie and James McAvoy had to kiss when they filmed Wanted? The actor quickly said that there was nothing for Brad to get jealous of. The set had been hot, and they were both sweaty. Apparently, the entire thing was very awkward.
Leonardo DiCaprio & Virginie Ledoyen
Virginie Ledoyen is yet another actress who got to live out the dream of many young women in the world. She was cast as a romantic interest for Leonardo DiCaprio’s character in The Beach. As if that was not envy-inducing enough, they got to film by the lovely shores of Thailand.
Leonardo DiCaprio & Virginie Ledoyen
However, it was nothing like the paradise she had in mind. Not long before they shared their first kiss, the actress nearly drowned! She was suffering from trauma when they shot the intimate scenes. Oof.
Will Smith & Eva Mendes
We all watched as Will Smith played someone who was head over heels in love with the beautiful and independent character played by Eva Mendes. While this was the case in Hitch, this was not the case when the cameras were off. Apparently, Eva was starstruck to work with this smooth talker!
Will Smith & Eva Mendes
It was understandable that the actress got nervous. Like many people out there, she liked to munch on her comfort food during moments like this. For her, it was a tuna sandwich and crushed chips. Will Smith, however, liked to call it the “stank breath special.”
Kirsten Dunst & Tobey McGuire
After they finished filming Spiderman, a number of confessions came out from the two sides of the story. We bet you remember that stormy make-out session between Spiderman and Mary Jane!
Kirsten Dunst & Tobey McGuire
As you can imagine, it was not all that fun for Tobey. After all, he was hanging upside down on a Spidey string with rain pouring torrentially over him. The actor said he felt like he was drowning and kept gasping for air! Kirsten, meanwhile, said it was considerably uncomfortable. In the end, it turns out that “taking someone’s breath away” is not that romantic!
Jennifer Grey & Patrick Swayze
There was no way we can deny that there was sexual tension between the dirty dancers! Back in the ‘80s, these two stars sent youngsters to the nearest dance classes in the hopes of finding love.
Jennifer Grey & Patrick Swayze
However, it turns out that Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey had been closing their eyes out of mutual frustration! As you can see, we confused those looks with sultry passion. He called her Baby when the cameras were rolling, but things were different when they were off. She thought he was a man child!
Ryan Gosling & Rachel McAdams
How can we ever forget the gut-wrenching love story The Notebook told? We doubt that it would be the same if other people starred in the movie. However, you might be surprised to hear that neither Rachel McAdams nor Ryan Gosling liked to work together. This is pretty surprising when you see the incredible chemistry that they showed all of us.
Ryan Gosling & Rachel McAdams
There was something else that surprised the rest of the film crew. When they were done filming, the two actually entered a relationship together! There truly is a fine line between love and hate.
Robert Pattinson & Reese Witherspoon
When Robert Pattinson worked on Water For Elephants, he was always even paler than usual during the kissing scenes. It had nothing to do with his Twilight vampire charm.
Robert Pattinson & Reese Witherspoon
It turns out that illness had been rampant among the members of the cast and crew. Robert was very ill at the time. However, the show must go on! We are sure that Reese Witherspoon did not enjoy getting into a lip lock with him. No one likes snotty noses and chapped lips during kisses, right?
Johnny Depp & Carey Mulligan
It is true that while Johnny Depp has a famous dislike of kissing scenes, he does not really refuse them. Did you think that this was the case between him and Public Enemies costar Carey Mulligan?
Johnny Depp & Carey Mulligan
Apparently, they did write and film kissing scenes between the two. However, those bits did not make it to the final cut. It had nothing to do with Johnny! Carey even blames herself for being awkward in front of the camera. They took 16 takes for the kissing scenes, but they decided it was easier to take it out.
Alyson Hannigan & Jason Segel
If you have ever kissed a smoker in the past, you would know just how much of a turn-off it is. It might be a different story if you also smoke, but non-smokers hate it. It is hard to get rid of such a smell!
Alyson Hannigan & Jason Segel
Alyson Hannigan and Jason Segel were good friends when they played onscreen lovers in How I Met Your Mother. They had nine seasons together, and Alyson tried to convince Jason to stop smoking! He would quit then pick the habit back up again. He even agreed to pay her when he smoked!
Megan Fox & Amanda Seyfried
Have you ever seen Jennifer’s Body? If so, you would know that Amanda Seyfried and Megan Fox did not really play love interests. However, their shared kiss piqued the interest of viewers.
Megan Fox & Amanda Seyfried
The stars will tell you that the kissing scene was not meant to be believable. There was not a lot, if any, backstory to go with the scene. We are sure that this made it very hard for them to get into the right state of mind when they filmed it!
Jennifer Lawrence & Bradley Cooper
Jennifer Lawrence and Bradley Cooper made all of us fall in love with the characters they played in Silver Linings Playbook. However, they had been struggling with something else for this movie. Who would have thought it was hard to get the kissing scene right?
Jennifer Lawrence & Bradley Cooper
The two were good friends, so JLaw decided that she could give the actor honest constructive criticism. She said his kissing was “sloppy.” While it helped them get it over with, we are sure that it did not do anything to improve the romantic mood on the set.
Jennifer Lawrence & Chris Pratt
While she has lots of acting experience to her name, it seemed like starring in Passengers opposite Chris Pratt got to her. After all, he had been married to Anna Faris, who was a friend of hers! She drank to calm herself down, which did not go unnoticed by the others on the set.
Jennifer Lawrence & Chris Pratt
It was around that time that the grapevine claimed the two had an affair during and after the time they worked together. However, the reports were squashed when reports of their bad kissing came out.
Emma Watson & Rupert Grint
Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley from Harry Potter shared what must be one of the most awaited kisses in film history! At long last, the two characters finally smooched in the 7th movie.
Emma Watson & Rupert Grint
There were many fans who had been rooting for these two ever since the books and movies came out. People were glad that their endgame ship was correct! However, Emma and Rupert only saw each other as a brother and sister. After all, they had known each other since they were 11 years old!
Jennifer Lawrence & Liam Hemsworth
My, it seems like Jennifer Lawrence has quite the reputation for being a bad kisser! Another costar said that it was not fun for him. Some might not have blamed her outright, but we can’t ignore the numbers.
Jennifer Lawrence & Liam Hemsworth
Liam Hemsworth claims that he had suffered through her bad breath when they filmed kisses for The Hunger Games. Was this merely a trick that she played on the actor? We know that the actress likes to pull pranks on others. At any rate, he said it was “gross.”
Harrison Ford & Sean Young
We are sure that it was pretty rough for Sean Young to see her detested colleague Harrison Ford receive the credit for all the success that Blade Runner received!
Harrison Ford & Sean Young
In those days, it seems like Harrison Ford ruled the entertainment scene. We would not be surprised if people would pay good money to slip into her shoes instead. However, many people have no idea that she hated him. As a matter of fact, the production team called the love scene “the hate scene” instead!
Janet Jackson & Tupac Shakur
We all know that Tupac Shakur is one good-looking man. It is not hard to understand why many people thought that his rapping skills would help out his wooing abilities. We all know that he is a ladies’ man!
Janet Jackson & Tupac Shakur
However, it was this reputation of his that caused some problems between him and his costar Janet Jackson. The actress-musician had a reputation of her own to protect. She thought that intimacy with a “player” like him would ruin it!
Shailene Woodley & Miles Teller
The Spectacular Now provided both Shailene Woodley and Miles Teller the big break that they needed. However, you would not believe what was happening on the set. We all saw how much chemistry they had, but there was more to the story than that.
Shailene Woodley & Miles Teller
There were reports that one of them had bad breath. It was hard to say who it was because they both claimed the same thing! They said it might have something to do with the Chinese herbs they took during filming. Let us not discount the possibility that they both had bad breath.
Helena Bonham Carter & Woody Allen
Everyone knows that Woody Allen is a critically-acclaimed director. However, it seems like he had a number of quirks as an actor. He directed and starred in Mighty Aphrodite opposite Helena Bonham Carter. They played an unhappy couple in the film.
Helena Bonham Carter & Woody Allen
Carter learned all the “rules” Allen had when it comes to kissing. For one thing, they were not allowed to have any “exchange of liquid.” The actress said that it was “like kissing the Berlin Wall.”
Taylor Lautner & Kristen Stewart
It is not a secret that Twilight heroine Bella did not end up with Jacob, her werewolf best friend. Even though they were good friends, she was far too smitten with the sulky Edward!
Taylor Lautner & Kristen Stewart
However, there were still many fans who claimed they were on Team Jacob. Who would have thought that the relationship between the stars was the same as the characters they played? They also loved each other but hated kissing each other!
Heath Ledger & Jake Gyllenhaal
We are on the topic of awkward kissing scenes, so this one definitely belongs to the list. It was probably hard enough to shoot a scene that they did not feel comfortable in. However, things got even worse because Heath Ledger’s real-life girlfriend was on the set as well! This explains a lot about the awkwardness that ensued between the late actor and his Brokeback Mountain costar.
Heath Ledger & Jake Gyllenhaal
However, Director Ang Lee thought that the awkward tension worked well for the storyline. After all, it was clearly convincing enough for the crew and cast members to rake in awards during the Oscars!
