Hollywood Kisses: From Tobey Maguire who choked in Spider-Man to Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton in Cleopatra who finished filming but couldn’t stop kissing.
Whether it’s the discreet pasta-eating kiss in “Lady and the Tramp” or Zendaya‘s deep three-way kiss in “Challengers,” Hollywood kisses have a long and varied history.
Hollywood Kisses, Have you seen the scariest kiss – Jim Carrey, did you seriously try to eat Lauren Holly in “Dumb and Dumber”? The longest – a six-minute-and-44-second cramp-inducing kiss on “Kids in America.” Rainiest – Andy McDowell and Hugh Grant in “Four Weddings”, don’t pretend you didn’t understand. And here I spare you the agony of dealing with the sloppiest kisses.
Sometimes actors enjoy this work. Margot Robbie said she had an impromptu kiss scene with Brad Pitt in “Babylon” just because she wanted to. “I thought, ‘When will I get the chance to kiss Brad Pitt again?'” she admitted. So I will do it.” Other times, they don’t like it very much. Emily Blunt revealed that kissing some actors made her want to throw up.
Hollywood Kisses, In honor of the kisses exchanged in Hollywood, the good and the bad, we’ve compiled a list of the kisses with the strangest stories. So prepare yourself to laugh non-stop…
Hollywood Kisses
1. Diana Rigg, George Lazenby And Cyr
Countess Teresa DiVicenzo may be the only Bond girl to walk 007 down the aisle – but the actress didn’t get on well with her co-star George Lisenby.
Since the release of On Her Majesty’s Secret Service in 1969, it has been rumored that Dame Diana Rigg hated Lisenby so much that she would deliberately eat her fill before romantic scenes with him.
But according to Lisenby, the story was exaggerated. “It was another one of those media stories that grew up at Pinewood Studios,” he said in a 1981 interview with 007 magazine. We were having lunch right before the love scene, and there was a lot of press because they were invited that day. Diana Rigg was having lunch about four or five tables away and she called out in a rather loud voice, I’m eating garlic today, George, I hope you are too. It was just a joke, you know. They wrote as if he was eating enough to cheer me up…”
However, Lisenby himself seems to have been the one who first fueled the rumour, as Rigg wrote in an open letter to the Daily Sketch in 1970: “I’m tired of reading those suspicious statements to the press. … No, George, I didn’t eat garlic on purpose.”

2. Kirsten Dunst And Tobey Maguire Star
Kirsten Dunst has opened up about her “miserable” experience filming the famous upside-down kiss scene in Spider-Man, the 2002 epic directed by Sam Raimi that helped usher in an era of blockbuster superhero movies.
In the scene, which takes place in a New York alley, Tobey Maguire as Spider-Man is seen dangling from a spider web while planting a kiss on the lips of Dunst’s Mary Jane Watson (who, naturally, is standing straight).
Dunst revealed on The Jonathon Ross Show: “I remember Sam Raimi gave me a book of famous kisses for inspiration… He really wanted this particular scene to work even though it was actually kind of miserable to do.”. “It was raining hard, it was freezing cold, Toby couldn’t breathe, so it was almost like I was resuscitating him.”
In another interview, Maguire said he was “practically suffocating” at the time as rain poured down his nose and he had to take quick short breaths through the corner of his mouth. He described filming the scene as “torture” and added, “It makes you realize how important oxygen is.” It was not very sensual.

3. Tony Curtis Said Kissing Marilyn Monroe Was Like “Kissing Hitler”.
While filming Billy Wilder’s 1958 classic Some Like it Hot, Tony Curtis famously commented that shooting a love scene with his co-star Marilyn Monroe was “like kissing Hitler.”
This comment might suggest that the two couldn’t stand each other, but Curtis claimed in his memoir, published in 2009, that the two actresses were in fact in love at the time, and that their relationship led to Monroe’s pregnancy – although She later had a miscarriage. Both were married at the time, Curtis to Janet Leigh and Monroe to playwright Arthur Miller.
Curtis claimed they were confessing to Miller when Monroe surprised them both with the news of her pregnancy. “I was blown away,” Curtis wrote. I was standing there. “The room was so quiet I could hear the tires screeching on Santa Monica Boulevard.”
It was also found that the “kissing Hitler” comment was distorted. In an interview with The Guardian at the BFI Southbank cinema, Curtis explained: “Someone said to me, ‘Hey, what does it feel like to kiss Marilyn?’ I said it was like kissing Hitler. Why are you asking me such a stupid question? This word came from there.

4. Colin Farrell Was Embarrassed To Kiss The Director’s Wife, Kate Beckinsale
In the 2012 action remake of Total Recall, Colin Farrell and Kate Beckinsale had many fight scenes, but they also had to kiss. This did not go well, as Beckinsale was then married to the film’s director, Len Wiseman, which made Farrell feel a little awkward.
“She’s actually the director’s wife,” he told Conan O’Brien. She is married to the director. [This work] was somewhat distressing. “Kissing her was a little risky because the director, her husband, was not kind enough to leave the room.”
In another interview, he went even further, calling it “one of the most harrowing things I’ve experienced in 15 years of filmmaking.”

5. Elizabeth Taylor And Richard Burton Were Not Vulcans
When Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor co-starred in Cleopatra in 1963, Taylor was in her fourth marriage to Eddie Fisher, and Burton had been married to his wife, Sybil, for 14 years. We must say that their marriage did not last long after this.
As revealed in the book Furious Love by Sam Kashner and Nancy Schoenberger, when it came to the two kissing scenes, they had the director yelling “Cut!” (cut) They paid no heed: “In their first deep kiss, in Cleopatra’s retreat… Burton was mesmerized by her presence, almost passed out.
They repeated the scene several times, their kiss getting longer with each take. Finally, [director Joseph] Mankiewicz yelled, “It’s over,” but the scene went on. He asked again if it is okay for you two to cut? And then he said, don’t you think it’s lunch time?”
From there, these two stars began a relationship that destroyed both of their marriages and went on to become one of the most stormy and controversial relationships in Hollywood history.

6. Heath Ledger Almost Broke Jake Gyllenhaal’s Nose
Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal’s portrayal of two cowboys in love in Ang Lee’s 2005 romance Brokeback Mountain was groundbreaking at the time—and it turns out that it almost resulted in broken noses.
“Heath nearly broke my nose in a kissing scene,” Gyllenhaal told Digital Spy in 2004. He grabs me and slams me against the wall and kisses me. And then I grab her and slam her against the wall and kiss her. And we had harvest after harvest after harvest.
I was crushed. We had other scenes where we were fighting each other, and I didn’t hurt as badly after any of them as I did after that one.” It was painful, yes, but worth it for a film with such a powerful legacy.

7. Reese Witherspoon And Robert Pattinson Who Had A Runny Nose
Nothing can destroy the attraction between two actors like a runny nose. And that’s what Reese Witherspoon had to deal with in the romantic movie “Water for Elephants” in 2011.
In an interview with MTV News, Witherspoon admitted that she was really scared to kiss her co-star, Robert Pattinson, because she had a cold at the time. “His nose was very runny,” he said, “yes, it was not attractive; It was not pleasant.”
Pattinson also agreed. “I had a runny nose and it was running all over the place, and it was an extra in one of the scenes, and Reese had a beret on, and I was actually wiping my nose with his beret.” It was fascinating.
