You will be surprised to know about #12
#1 Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst (for Spiderman)
One
of the reasons the 2002 film Spiderman was so successful was because of
the very infamous upside down kiss Spiderman (Tobey Maguire) bestowed
on Mary Jane (Kirsten Dunst) in the pouring rain. It was romantic as
hell, but audiences couldn’t help but wonder how difficult pulling it
off actually was. According to a February 2014 article in The Vancouver
Sun, Maguire was reluctant to do it because he already knew it was going
to be a highly uncomfortable experience. Aside from hanging upside down
and having the blood rush to his head, Maguire also had to deal with
rainwater running up his nose.
#2 Kate Hudson and Dane Cook (for My Best Friend’s Girl)
It
was risky business for Dane Cook to call Kate Hudson, his co-star in My
Best Friend’s Girl, his “worst onscreen kiss ever.” But that he did, as
reported by ABC News in October 2014. But before Hudson’s fans get into
a tizzy, it’s been implied that Cook said it all in good humor.
According to Cook, Hudson would purposely eat a mouthful of onions right
before a kissing scene just to get a rise out of him. And it worked, as
he would always call her out on it, albeit in a friendly manner.
#3 Shailene Woodley and Miles Teller (for The Spectacular Now)
The
independent film The Spectacular Now opened to rave reviews at the 2013
Sundance Film Festival. Shailene Woodley and Miles Teller had a good
amount of chemistry working for them, but both revealed in interviews
that they weren’t exactly that hot about kissing each other. In a July
2013 interview with Vulture, Teller claimed that Woodley would always
take these Chinese herbal supplements before a kissing scene, making
locking lips with her almost unbearable. Teller in turn, would gulp down
Gatorade prior to filming, just to mock Woodley right back.
#4 Kirsten Dunst and Brad Pitt (for Interview with the Vampire)
Kirsten
Dunst received a lot of flak when she said that kissing Brad Pitt in
the movie Interview with the Vampire was “disgusting,” as mentioned in a
March 2013 article in Fox 411. Because who wouldn’t want to kiss as hot
an actor as Pitt? Dunst apparently, though it’s understandable, given
she was only 11 when she had to do it. Dunst said that Pitt was actually
her first kiss and said she didn’t understand what all the fuss was
about.
#5 Tom Cruise and Thandie Newton (for Mission Impossible 2)
No
one wants to be called a slobbery kisser, but unfortunately for Tom
Cruise, he’s been called out for being such. According to his Mission
Impossible 2 co-star Thandie Newton in a June 2008 article on Gawker,
kissing Cruise was “slightly icky and sort of wet.” Newton went so far
as saying that she’d always be mumbling and grumbling after filming each
kissing scene because they had to do it numerous times before they got
it right in the eyes of the director. And it didn’t help either that the
temperature was uncomfortably scorching.
#6 Reese Witherspoon and Robert Pattinson (for Water For Elephants)
Reese
Witherspoon has actually said outright that kissing Robert Pattinson
was not appealing, to the chagrin of his thousands of fans. As reported
by Hollywood Life in April 2011, Witherspoon told In Touch that at the
time they had to film some romantic scenes, Pattinson was nursing a
horrible cold, making kissing him absolutely disgusting. The actress
went on to say that Pattinson was sniffling and had snot dribbling down
his nose the whole time. She said she was quite disappointed because the
experience was farthest from being sexy.
#7 Jennifer Lawrence and Josh Hutcherson (for The Hunger Games: Catching Fire)
She’s
one of today’s hottest and most sought-after actresses in Hollywood,
but apparently, Jennifer Lawrence is not the world’s greatest kisser,
according to her Hunger Games co-star Josh Hutcherson. An October 2014
article in Elle stated that Hutcherson called Lawrence a “slobbery”
kisser. He added that she had a bit of a dribble problem that she had to
take care of. Whether Hutcherson said this in jest or if he was dead
serious, it still doesn’t reflect well on the A-list actress.
#8 Jennifer Lawrence and Liam Hemsworth (The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1)
It
seems like Josh Hutcherson isn’t the only one complaining about
Jennifer Lawrence’s kissing. The actress’ other Hunger Games co-star
Liam Hemsworth also had something not-too-favorable to say about
Lawrence in the kissing department, as mentioned in a November 2014
report in US Weekly. While Hutcherson said Lawrence had a dribble
problem, Hemsworth claimed that she had the worst-smelling breath,
making the kissing experience “gross.” The two are good friends and
Lawrence would purposely eat garlic or tuna and not brush her teeth
before their kissing scene, just to rile up Hemsworth!
#9 Angelina Jolie and James McAvoy (for Wanted)
She
may be one of the most beautiful women in the world, but according to
Angelina Jolie’s Wanted co-star James McAvoy, she’s far from perfect in
the onscreen make out department. In a July 2008 report from Huffington
Post, McAvoy claimed that his kissing scene with Jolie was awkward
because he had just met her the day they filmed the scene. According to
McAvoy, it was a case of, “Hey, how are you doing? I’m James, nice to
meet you. Ok let’s do this scene.” So because there was no preamble
whatsoever before jumping into the kiss, the experience was memorably
awkward.
#10 Leonardo DiCaprio and Virginie Ledoyen (for The Beach)
Despite
the fact that the 2000 film The Beach was critically panned, it was a
box office success, no doubt because of its star, Leonardo DiCaprio. And
though the casting seemed great, DiCaprio’s co-star Virginie Leydoyen
had less than favorable things to say about his kissing skills.
According to an October 2014 report by Elle, Ledoyen said that she
wouldn’t want DiCaprio as a lover, even though he was a nice person. Per
Ledoyen, “There was no honest passion…I can’t even remember his kiss.”
#11 Alyson Hannigan and Jason Segel (for How I Met Your Mother)
Our
favorite couple in How I Met Your Mother was never really Ted and
Robin, but rather forever-cheesy Marshall and Lily. They were always at
their most adorable when they were being all sweet and cuddly. But
according to an October 2014 article on Elle, Alyson Hannigan originally
refused to make out with onscreen husband Jason Segel. The reason? He
reeked and tasted of cigarette smoke. Rather than just brushing his
teeth or popping a Tic Tac, Segel took the high road and decided to kick
the habit completely.
#12 Emma Watson and Rupert Grint (for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2)
Rumors
circulated during the filming of the Harry Potter film franchise that
two of its stars Emma Watson and Rupert Grint (who played Hermione and
Ron, respectively) didn’t really get along off-screen. But whether they
did or not, one thing was for sure: they definitely did not enjoy
kissing each other onscreen. In an interview for Attitude magazine,
Grint claimed that kissing Watson was kind of gross, as reported by
Huffington Post in July 2011. He said it felt so unnatural, given they
had been friends since he was nine, and it took around four takes to get
it right.
#13 Vanessa Hudgens and James Franco (for Spring Breakers)
In
a March 2013 Yahoo Movies article, Vanessa Hudgens was quoted as
saying, “Eeeew! I don’t want to kiss James! I’d rather kiss a girl than
James Franco,” her co-star in the movie Spring Breakers. In the film,
Hudgens had kissing scenes with both Franco and her female co-star
Ashley Benson, saying she had no qualms about making out with Benson in
their pool make-out scene. But kissing Franco? Hudgens deemed the
experience her worst onscreen kiss ever.
#14 Steve Carell and Dwayne Johnson (for Get Smart)
For
a straight guy, perhaps it’s not so insulting when the person
criticizing the way you kiss is another straight dude. Steve Carell and
Dwayne Johnson starred together in the action comedy film Get Smart and
shared a kissing scene. According to an October 2014 article in Elle,
Johnson claimed that Carrell’s tongue felt like kitty litter, while his
lips were like the bottom of a cat’s paw. Hilarious descriptions all
said in good humor, no doubt! But two dudes who have to trade saliva
can’t be appealing for either party.
