As soon as you see the title Blade Runner, you can already hear the eerie sci-fi sounds of Vangelis and the imposing ziggurat within which Ridley Scott’s film takes place. A fan favorite, the cult film stars the gorgeous Harrison Ford. His -apparently – unwilling love interest, played by Sean Young, sees the pair indulge in a fiery love scene. But there’s more to the scene than the cameras let on; apparently, Rick Decard and Racheal weren’t very friendly behind the screen! The stars simply loathed one another and barely wanted to talk, let alone share a kiss! Young seemed to be making up reasons to hate Harrison Ford – apparently, his stubble scratched her face. Gents, remember not to ruin a woman’s carefully prepared skin with your beard!
This on-screen hate was not the first time someone refused to kiss a co-star, but the producers ultimately had the last word. But the tension between the two was so renowned that cast and crew, in fact, renamed their iconic love scene as “the hate scene.” We know the film was, in fact, set in a dystopian world, but it seems even the cast couldn’t have a good time on set either!
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!
Priyanka Chopra And Annu Kapoor in "Saat Khoon Maaf"
Now known officially as Priyanka Chopra-Jonas, the womanly Bollywood star is in a little hot water over the claim that she wouldn’t kiss a co-star due to the age difference! Somewhat ironically, Chopra is some ten years older than her husband, Nick Jonas, but there’s more to the story! In the production Saat Khoon Maaf, Chopra starred opposite Annu Kapoor, who was, in fact, 26 years her senior!
Apparently, the age difference irked the star and was a reason why she wouldn’t do any romantic scenes with him! In a catty remark in an interview, Chopra said that out of the seven husbands she has in the film, she’d choose to kill the husband portrayed by Kapoor! Now, that makes us think it was more than an age thing – there was certainly more going on behind closed doors!
No Guys For Justin Bieber In The Film "Uber Girl"
“If I was your boyfriend, I’d never let you go; I can take you places you ain’t never been before,” – now that was something Bieber couldn’t sing to one of his co-stars in the film Uber Girl. As a result of his refusal to kiss a male backup dancer in the film, he was cut from it altogether! Pete O’Neill, one of the film’s co-writers, told The New York Post, “He won’t take part unless the sex scene with him and one of the male backup dancers is taken out of the final script.”
Bieber certainly has made a career for himself out of wooing teenage girls and women alike, so maybe he didn’t want to break from character (or from being himself!). You do you. However, Bieber’s reps denied the rumors and claimed he was never even involved in the movie!
