“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!
Love and Hate on the Silver Screen: Harrison Ford and Sean Young in “Blade Runner”
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!
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!
Sadie Sink Wouldn't Kiss Caleb McLaughlin on "Stranger Things"
Funnily enough, it was what the actress DIDN’T want that was, in fact, written into the script. The talented cast of Stranger Things faced not only the fact of deepening voices and changing hormones but the realities of relationships and physical contact! Sadie Sink, who portrays Maxine, or “Max” in the hit Netflix series, was nudged into doing a kissing scene with Caleb McLaughlin.
During interviews, Sink opened up about her reluctance to share her first on-screen kiss, which made audiences and critics alike a little uncomfortable. The show’s co-creator and director Ross Duffer joked about the two youngsters kissing at the “Snow Ball” at the end of season 2. Sadie protested so much that the director wrote a kiss into the scene! Now that’s just cruel! Sure, it’s only a peck, but if your actors are uncomfortable, that isn’t exactly ideal! Sadie remembers that day on set very clearly: “I get [to set], the first day of Snow Ball… I think one of you, Ross, said, ‘Oh, Sadie, you ready for the kiss?’ I’m like, ‘What! No! That’s not in the script. That’s not happening.” Whilst, in the end, it wasn’t a big deal, there’s no doubt that the young star was quite distressed over it. Next time girl, stand your ground! Or, go for the cheek!
Vanessa Hudgens Refused to Kiss James Franco in “Spring Breakers”
It seems that Franco isn’t having much luck with the ladies on the screen! Former High School Musical star Vanessa Hudgens may have taken on a role that saw her graduate from high school and enters the world of debauchery, but there seemed to be some strings attached! The film was a rude shock compared to her Disney days, including scenes where Hudgens got up close and personal with Franco and an eye-opening scene of a pow-wow in a swimming pool!
Spring Breakers just wasn’t the right fit for Hudgens, who spoke about her experience with Franco at the time: “It was very nerve-racking for me. I told my agent I never want to do it again.” Now we can only speculate the reasons why Hudgens was so averse to kissing Franco, but the following quote says it all. "I'd rather kiss a girl again than kiss Franco again!" Ouchy!
