Hollywood star Matt Damon has bad memories of a kissing scene with co-star Scarlett Johansson.
Due to his role in the atomic bomb drama “Oppenheimer”, US actor Matt Damon (52) is currently on everyone’s lips again. With the entertainment portal “LadBible” he completed a kind of interview game together with his “Oppenheimer” film partner Emily Blunt (40). They had to agree or disagree with certain statements.
In the game, both stars vehemently agreed with the statement “You should tell someone when they have bad breath” and supplemented their point of view with helpful tips for dealing discreetly with “bad breath” situations. In order not to offend the interlocutor, you could casually offer him chewing gum, for example.
“Can you imagine how awful that was?”
However, Matt Damon made it clear in his further remarks on the subject that this strategy is not always a practical solution. “I had to kiss Scarlett Johansson once – can you imagine how awful that was?” he asked jokingly. The fact that he remembered the situation during the shooting of the film “We are buying a zoo” in 2011 as “terrible” has to do with the fact that he and Johansson (38) did not expect close-ups of a kiss scene that had already been shot. During the break from shooting, his unsuspecting shooting partner therefore decided on an onion sandwich of all things.
“We went to lunch and she and I both thought it was over. She was having an onion sandwich for lunch, came in and Cameron Crowe had the camera set for a close-up of the kiss and she was like, ‘Oh shit, I just had an onion sandwich!'”
Scarlett Johansson’s breath: Usually “like roses”
Although he survived the kissing scene, he couldn’t resist joking about her unbearable onion breath throughout the rest of the shoot. Normally, according to the actor, Scarlett Johansson’s breath smells exclusively “of roses”.
