He’s got a charming eye-crinkling smile that would make any strong-willed woman weak at the knees, but apparently not Sienna Miller! The pair starred in the independent film Camille in 2008, taking on the role of newlyweds. In some ways, audiences were made uncomfortable – there just wasn’t that newlywed doe-eyed chemistry. Well, there could be a reason for that! Sienna Miller straight up told producers she couldn’t bring herself to kiss Franco. Why do you ask? First, we just want to stop before you start speculating that it was due to his reputation of having less-than-gentlemanly behavior, particularly involving younger women. And no, it wasn’t because she thought he’d been around the block. I mean, even if he had… well, you get my drift!
The reason is going to be such an anti-climax, but here goes; the A-lister was suffering from a severe toothache at the time of filming! It was so bad that a dentist was brought on set for a professional opinion. Seems that there’s more to the story about Sienna’s pearly whites; the actress is known for having dental issues and was even rejected from a Vogue cover. Apparently, she was too “toothy.” So, don’t say cheese?
A Tiger With a “No Kissing” Clause In His Contract!
With millions of girls swooning over heartthrob Indian action-movie star Tiger Shroff, he seems like he’d be the perfect boyfriend! Why’s that? Well, from early on in his career, the actor asked for a no-kissing clause in all of his future acting contracts! It seems that love is more powerful than money, as the reason was due to his commitment to his girlfriend, Disha Patani. Also, his co-star in the Baaghi martial arts saga demanded that there would be no kissing out of respect for his gorgeous lady!
The star also is very fond of his Indian culture and, like Salman Khan, believes that on-screen kissing is not in line with cultural correctness. In stark contrast, his father, Jackie Shroff, was known for his more daring and somewhat unpredictable behavior! Perhaps learning from his father, Tiger is exacting about his image, contracts, and fitness regime! 2019 signals the effectual beginning of the “no kissing” clause, and good for him!
Reese Witherspoon Wouldn’t Kiss Robert Pattinson in “Water for Elephants”
Almost every teenage girl’s dream was to kiss Robert Pattinson, particularly when he was playing Edward Cullen in the Twilight series. In the film Water for Elephants, it seemed that Reese Witherspoon and Pattinson shared a tender kiss. However, this was almost forced upon the actress – she was definitely NOT into kissing the former vamp. Why? Well, he had a terrible cold during the filming!
Whilst the actress is a fan of Pattinson. She explained in interviews that during the shoot, Pattinson was sick with horrendous flu. The coughing and sneezing really put her off getting up close with the actor. She even once described it as "green and disgusting." Okay, we get it. That’s pretty damn gross. The actor apologized for the experience, but we don’t really know how Reese did it! That’s genuinely suffering for your art!
Do Vampires Kiss? Sure. But When They’re Underage?
The perfect little vampire child, Kirsten Dunst, has etched her place in movie history with her portrayal of Claudia. A scene required Claudia to kiss her “one true love,” portrayed by Brad Pitt. Whilst the precocious 11-year-old wasn’t interested in smooching the Fight Club actor, she gives a convincing performance. In some ways, however, it wasn’t a great experience for Dunst – apparently, the actress was not interested in kissing anyone for years after she filmed the movie.
Sure, her older colleagues and other actresses would’ve been dying to replace her, with Dunst remarking, “Everyone at the time was like, ‘You’re so lucky you kissed Brad Pitt,’ but I thought it was disgusting. I didn’t kiss anyone else until I was 16, I think. I was a late bloomer.” Look, we’re with Kirsten on this one. Kissing a minor is just weird. Brad Pitt, Brad Schmitt – this guy was old enough to be her dad!
Kate Winslet and Leonardo Dicaprio Weren't Having It In "Revolutionary Road"
When Revolutionary Road was set to be released, die-hard fans of the star-crossed lovers Jack and Rose in the iconic film Titanic were dying to get tickets. Finally, they’d see their favorite on-screen duo united, even if they played extremely different roles. (What a shock they must have had!) Whilst the pair had undeniable chemistry in Titanic, the two actors refused to kiss in the film as its director was none other than Winslet’s husband at the time, Sam Mendes. Also, let’s consider that actors usually hate to be pigeonholed and remembered JUST for playing one part. Pretty sure both of them wanted to steer clear of any memories from Titanic.
Fans expecting a big reunion were quite sore. Still, despite their disappointment, we’ve got a feeling that Revolutionary Road was a film that perhaps gave audiences something more satisfying to stew over!
