Celebrities Reveal Their Best and Worst On-Screen Kisses

Celebrities often share intimate moments on screen, and some have openly discussed their best and worst kissing experiences with co-stars. Here are insights from various actors about these memorable scenes.

Rob Lowe

Rob Lowe considers Nastassja Kinski as his best on-screen kiss. In an appearance on “Watch What Happens Live,” Lowe revealed that his favorite kiss occurred during the filming of “The Hotel New Hampshire.” He described Kinski as “probably the most beautiful woman” he had ever seen, though he admitted feeling “very, very scared” to kiss her.

Sharon Stone

Sharon Stone praised Robert De Niro as “the best kisser in the business.” During a SiriusXM interview on “Radio Andy,” Stone recounted a scene from the 1995 movie “Casino.” The chemistry was evident, and both she and De Niro enjoyed the scene so much that director Martin Scorsese agreed to film it again at their request.

Sylvester Stallone

Sylvester Stallone had a challenging kissing scene with Talia Shire in “Rocky.” He described it as “the kiss from hell” due to a case of bad timing. As Stallone moved in to kiss her, Shire had a cold, leading to a less-than-ideal experience that Stallone humorously linked to catching the flu.

Nicole Kidman

Nicole Kidman revealed her worst on-screen kiss involved Alexander Skarsgard. On the “Las Culturistas” podcast, Kidman emphasized the importance of fresh breath, mentioning Skarsgard’s choice of falafel before filming a scene. Kidman humorously recalled telling him to avoid falafel before kissing scenes.

Kate Hudson

Kate Hudson candidly discussed her on-screen kissing experiences. During a Vanity Fair interview, she compared kisses with Billy Crudup and Matthew McConaughey. Hudson found Crudup’s approach “gentler,” while her kiss with McConaughey in “Fool’s Gold” included challenging weather and snot. She also dismissed her kiss with Dane Cook in “My Best Friend’s Girl” as “canceled,” appreciating Liv Tyler’s soft lips instead.

Sally Field

Sally Field shared that her on-screen kiss with Burt Reynolds in “Smokey and the Bandit” was disappointing despite their real-life relationship. On “Watch What Happens Live,” Field described the kiss as overly “drooling,” without a detailed engagement.
