Kate Hudson and Gwyneth Paltrow chat about movie kisses on a podcast. Your co-stars don't do well with it.
Not every film kiss is a joy for the protagonists. Kate Hudson (41, "Fremd Fischen") and Gwyneth Paltrow (48, "Avengers: Endgame") have now made this clear. The actresses and friends talked about their best and worst film kisses on an episode of the "Goop" podcast. Especially Oscar winner Matthew McConaughey (50, "Dallas Buyers Club") does not get off well.
Only one co-star convinced Hudson
"I feel like I didn't have the best kissers. I should have had better ones," explained Hudson. With Matthew McConaughey, she stood for "How do I get rid of him – in 10 days?" (2003) and "A treasure to fall in love with" (2008) in front of the camera. "Every time I kissed McConaughey, something happened, be it snot or wind," said Hudson. One kissing scene stuck in her mind particularly badly, at the end of "A Treasure To Fall In Love". "We're in the sea after the plane crash. And he had snot all over his face," she recalled with a laugh.
For Gwyneth Paltrow, the movie kisses with Marvel star Robert Downey Jr. (55) were anything but a pleasure. The two played lovers in the "Iron Man" and "Avengers" films. "Whenever I kissed Robert, I kept thinking: 'This is supposed to be a joke!' It's literally like kissing my brother, "the actress told Pepper Potts.
Kate Hudson certified a co-star to be a good kisser: Billy Crudup (52). They stood together in front of the camera in "Almost Famous" (2000). "He looked like he was a good kisser," Paltrow said. The said kiss didn't appear in the film because the scene didn't make it into the final version. Billy Crudup won an Emmy for Best Supporting Actor in a Drama Series for his performance on the Apple series "The Morning Show" alongside Reese Witherspoon, 44, and Jennifer Aniston, 51, in September.
