Dane Cook
For all of her complaints about love scene partners, Kate Hudson may be the one who’s mastered how to lose a guy in 10 seconds. Griping about their interaction in 2008’s My Best Friend’s Girl, Dane Cook told Andy Cohen on Watch What Happens Live, “I think she purposely ate a feast of onions right before the scene. I had to burn her on that one.”
Reese Witherspoon
Not gonna lie, Oscar winner Reese Witherspoon‘s sexy Water for Elephants scene with Robert Pattinson sounds like a bit of a circus. “I was doing it when I had a really bad cold,” the Twilight heartthrob revealed during his MTV First: Robert Pattinson special in 2011. “My nose is running all over the place, and it was in one of the additional photography scenes, and Reese had this wig on, and literally, I was wiping my nose on her wig.”
Witherspoon agreed it was a bit, uh, hairy. “He did have a very runny nose, yeah,” she said. “It wasn’t appealing; it wasn’t pleasant.”
Emma Watson
The magic wasn’t exactly there when pals Emma Watson and Rupert Grint took their friendship to the next level seven films into the Harry Potter franchise. With so much build-up, the then-19-year-old admitted to MTV News that she was buzzing with anxiety.
“I was like, ‘Do I use tongue? Do I not use tongue? Do I cover my teeth? What do I do? Do I go first? Oh my God!’” she shared in the 2009 chat. “I ended up pouncing on Rupert. I was so desperate to get it over. After the first take he was like, ‘Whoa, there! Where did that come from?’ I was like, ‘Sorry!’”
Liam Hemsworth
The odds were pretty much never in Liam Hemsworth‘s favor when he had to get close to Hunger Games costar Jennifer Lawrence.
“When you look at it on the outside, it looks like a great picture,” he said of the unrequited romance between District 12’s Katniss and Gale. “She’s one of my best friends, I love her, but if we had a kissing scene, she would make a point of eating garlic or tuna fish or something that was disgusting. Right before the scene, she’d be like, ‘Yeah, I ate tuna,’ or ‘I had garlic, and I didn’t brush my teeth.’ And I’d be like, ‘Fantastic, I can’t wait to get in there and taste it!’”
Josh Hutcherson
Josh Hutcherson would agree that his Hunger Games paramour’s pecks were less than ideal (“There was a lot of slobber”), but a bit of dampness is nothing compared to what he experienced in 2005’s Little Manhattan.
Just 11 at the time, he embarked on a romantic scene with “a crew of, like, 50 people standing around watching me,” he relayed to Seventeen in 2013, “and it was the most non-real, non-intimate way that I could possibly have for my first kiss I think.”
Tobey Maguire
Among Tobey Maguire‘s most terrifying stunts on the Spider-Man set: That iconic kiss with, at the time, real-life girlfriend Kirsten Dunst.
“I was hanging upside down, it was really late at night, it was raining, and the whole time, I had rainwater running up my nose,” he explained to Parade in 2007. “Then, when Kirsten rolled back the wet mask, she cut off the air completely.”
