Celebrities Share Their Best and Worst On-Screen Kisses

Celebrities often face the challenge of portraying realistic romance on screen. Several stars have opened up about their most memorable on-screen kisses, both good and bad. Rob Lowe, Nicole Kidman, Sharon Stone, Sylvester Stallone, Kate Hudson, and Sally Field have all shared stories from their careers.

Rob Lowe

Rob Lowe described his best on-screen kiss with Nastassja Kinski. During an episode of ‘Watch What Happens Live,’ he told Andy Cohen that kissing Kinski in ‘The Hotel New Hampshire’ was memorable. Lowe admired her beauty but also admitted feeling nervous during the scene.

Sharon Stone

Sharon Stone named Robert De Niro as the best kisser in the industry. In a SiriusXM interview, she recounted a scene from the 1995 film, ‘Casino.’ Stone was impressed with De Niro, noting they both wanted to shoot the scene again, suggesting the kiss left a positive impression on both actors.

Sylvester Stallone

Sylvester Stallone has a different tale. He labeled his kiss with Talia Shire in ‘Rocky’ as the worst. He described an unfortunate moment with a runny nose causing an uncomfortable situation, leading to Stallone contracting the flu shortly after filming.

Nicole Kidman

Nicole Kidman cited Alexander Skarsgard’s falafel breath as an on-set turn-off. On the ‘Las Culturistas’ podcast, Kidman emphasized bad breath as a dealbreaker, expressing her discomfort during a scene with Skarsgard on ‘Big Little Lies.’

Kate Hudson

Kate Hudson has been candid about on-screen kisses. During a Vanity Fair segment, Hudson compared kisses with Billy Crudup and Matthew McConaughey. She described Crudup’s kiss as gentle but critiqued McConaughey’s due to an unfortunate snot incident while filming ‘Fool’s Gold.’ Despite her experiences, Hudson highlighted Liv Tyler as her favorite co-star to kiss, noting Tyler’s soft lips.

Sally Field

In contrast, Sally Field recalled a disappointing experience with Burt Reynolds in ‘Smokey and the Bandit.’ Despite their real-life relationship, Field described the kiss as poorly executed due to excessive drooling.

These candid confessions highlight the unpredictable nature of acting, where personal chemistry and circumstances shape the outcome of on-screen romance.
