On-Screen Kisses That Stirred Up More BTS Drama Than People Realize

#1: Jennifer Lawrence and Chris Pratt

Jennifer Lawrence was uneasy about kissing her co-star Chris Pratt while filming Passengers. Although she and Pratt were good friends off-screen, she was also close with his wife, Anna Faris, which made the situation even more awkward. Lawrence admitted to feeling guilty about kissing a married man, even if it was just for a role.

Before filming the kissing scene, she reportedly sought advice from her mother on how to handle it. Eventually, Lawrence went through with the scene, but not without the aid of a couple of cocktails to calm her nerves. We’re sure her mom offered some much-needed emotional support, too.

#2: Will Smith and Anthony Hall

While filming Six Degrees of Separation in the early 1990s, Will Smith hesitated about sharing an on-screen kiss with his co-star Anthony Hall. Although he was portraying a gay character, Smith was reportedly uncomfortable with the idea of filming the kissing scene and tried to persuade the director to shoot it from behind.

This would have allowed for a body double or created the illusion of a kiss without it happening. Years later, Smith regretted the incident, admitting that he wasn’t in a suitable mental space then and suggesting he would handle the situation differently today.

#3: Ryan Reynolds and Morena Baccarin

It might surprise some to learn that the onscreen chemistry between Ryan Reynolds and Morena Baccarin in Deadpool wasn’t always as smooth as it seemed. Although there was no bad blood between them, Baccarin admitted that their kissing scenes were challenging to film.

“It just smells like rubber the entire time,” she explained. Baccarin found acting incredibly challenging while Reynolds was encased in the suit, proving that even the most charming co-star can’t overcome the off-putting scent of rubber and latex.

Thankfully, other kissing scenes were much easier to manage.

#4: Jennifer Lawrence and Liam Hemsworth

Next up, we have another memorable moment in film history where bad breath played a starring role. While filming The Hunger Games, Liam Hemsworth reportedly hesitated to kiss his co-star Jennifer Lawrence, claiming she had bad breath.

However, this wasn’t by accident—Lawrence deliberately ate garlic and tuna before their kissing scenes. She and Hemsworth were good friends off-screen and wanted to ensure no on-screen chemistry would spill over into real life. Her tactic? Make every kiss as unpleasant as possible.

It’s safe to say she succeeded in keeping their friendship strictly platonic…
