Sharon Stone dubbed Robert De Niro as the "best kisser in the business" after starring with him\u2014and sharing a particularly steamy smooch\u2014in the 1995 film Casino<\/em>.
Sharon Stone<\/strong><\/a> isn\u2019t afraid to kiss and tell.<\/span>
In fact, the actress was so confident about her smooch with <\/span>Robert De Niro<\/strong><\/a> in <\/span>Casino<\/span><\/em><\/a> that she had no hesitation declaring him the \u201cbest kisser in the business.\u201d<\/span>
\u201cHe kissed me right out of my shoes,\u201d Sharon said on the April 1 episode of <\/span>SiriusXM\u2019s <\/span>Radio Andy<\/span><\/em><\/a>. \u201cUgh, yes.\u201d<\/span>
For the 68-year-old, there was one particularly steamy moment they shared in the 1995 crime thriller that stands out among the rest.<\/span>
\u201cWe did this scene where I have to go to the bathroom, and because I play this hustler, I get him to give me money to go,\u201d recalled Sharon, who played Ginger McKenna in the film. \u201cHe gives me this money, and I look at him like, \u2018Really? I think I need a little more than $50 for the bathroom.\u2019\u201d<\/span>
\u201cHe reaches in and he gives me, like, $100, and then I lean over and I kiss him,\u201d she continued. \u201cAnd he just really knocked me out.\u201d<\/span>
According to Sharon, the kiss even left director <\/span>Martin Scorsese <\/strong>blushing.<\/span>
\u201cMarty cut, and he looks at us and goes, \u2018I think we got it but would you guys like another one?\u2019\u201d she said. \u201cAnd we both looked at him and went, \u2018Yeah, I think maybe we need one more.\u2019\u201d<\/span>
Sharon has often raved about her partnership with Robert, 82, <\/span>telling E! News in 2024<\/span><\/a> that the experience working together on <\/span>Casino<\/span><\/em> was life-changing.<\/span>
\u201c<\/span>I love the people that I worked with on that film,\u201d the <\/span>Basic Instinct<\/span><\/em> alum said. \u201cI learned more from working with Robert De Niro than I think I probably learned all together in my entire career.\u201d<\/span>
\u201cI love working with Marty Scorsese, and my relationship has stayed very much intact,\u201d she added. \u201cWorking with Jimmy Woods<\/strong>, unbelievable. Joe Pesci<\/strong>, who really fought for me to get this job, was great to me\u2026 These guys, they mean a lot to me. Nothing would be more exciting to me than to do anything with any of them.\u201d<\/span>
Sharon also spoke about her steamy kiss with Robert<\/span>\u00a0in 2020, calling it \u201cthe pinnacle\u201d of her kissing history.<\/span>
\u201cHe was the actor that I admired the most and had my whole career,\u201d she said on <\/span>Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen<\/span><\/em><\/a>. \u201cI just held him in such extraordinarily high regard.\u201d<\/span>
\u201cThere was so much attached to it,\u201d she continued, \u201cbut I was just so madly in love with him that as an actress to start with [that], he probably could have hit me in the head with a hammer and I would have been like, \u2018Oh yeah!\u2019 But it was pretty fabulous.\u201d<\/span>
\u201cI don't know that I could compare anything else to that,\u201d Sharon added. \u201cEverything else was kind of like, meh.\u201d<\/span>
Sharon isn\u2019t the only star who has gotten candid about her onscreen kissing experiences. Keep reading for more celebrities who have shared their smooching stories\u2026<\/span>
For all of her complaints about love scene partners, Kate Hudson<\/strong><\/a> may be the one who's mastered how to lose a guy in 10 seconds. Griping about their interaction in\u00a02008's My Best Friend's Girl<\/em>, Dane Cook<\/strong> told Andy Cohen<\/strong><\/a> on Watch What Happens Live<\/em>, "I think she purposely ate a feast of onions right before the scene. I had to burn her on that one."
Not gonna lie, Oscar winner Reese Witherspoon<\/strong><\/a>'s sexy Water for Elephants<\/em> scene with Robert Pattinson<\/strong><\/a> sounds like a bit of a circus. "I was doing it when I had a really bad cold," the Twilight<\/em> heartthrob revealed<\/a> during his MTV First: Robert Pattinson<\/em>\u00a0special 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.\u00a0"He did have a very runny nose, yeah," she said. "It wasn't appealing; it wasn't pleasant."
Admittedly, Selena Gomez<\/strong><\/a> doesn't have the sweetest memories from her stint on The Suite Life of Zack & Cody<\/em>.\u00a0Paired off with Dylan Sprouse<\/strong><\/a> for her first-ever smooch, "I actually leaned in to kiss him, and I had my eyes closed a little too early and I ended up missing, like, half of his lip," the former child star recalled to Tiger Beat.<\/em><\/a> "It ended up being the most awkward kiss in the world. But I was 12, so it was okay and it was good."
Actually, the worst part, she said on The Kelly Clarkson Show<\/em>, was that she actually had a major crush on Cole Sprouse<\/strong><\/a>,\u00a0"Then I guest-starred on the show, but I kissed his brother!"
Emma Watson
The magic wasn't exactly there when pals Emma Watson<\/strong><\/a> and Rupert Grint<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0took their friendship to the next level seven films into the Harry Potter<\/em> franchise. With so much build-up, the then-19-year-old admitted to MTV News<\/a> that she was buzzing with anxiety.\u00a0
"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.\u00a0"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!'"
The odds were pretty much never<\/em> in Liam Hemsworth<\/strong><\/a>'s favor when he had to get close to Hunger Games<\/em> costar Jennifer Lawrence<\/strong><\/a>.\u00a0
"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<\/strong><\/a> would agree that his Hunger Games<\/em> 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\u00a02005's\u00a0Little Manhattan<\/em>.
Just 11 at the time, he embarked on a romantic scene with\u00a0"a crew of, like, 50 people standing around watching me," he relayed to Seventeen<\/em> in 2013, "and it was the most non-real, non-intimate way that I could possibly have for my first kiss I think."
Ashley Tisdale<\/strong><\/a> told Elle<\/em><\/a> she had to get pal Zac Efron<\/strong><\/a>'s head in the game when they were paired up on an episode of The Suite Life of Zack & Cody<\/em>. Already weirded out by having to do that<\/em> with someone who's "like my brother," she fully balked when he tried to slip her the tongue.\u00a0
"At the time, he was used to acting on Warner Bros, which is The CW," she explained of her High School Musical<\/em> costar. "I was like, 'Get away from me!' I closed my mouth so fast. I was like, 'This is Disney Channel! We don't kiss like that on Disney Channel!'"
Efron got schooled once again on the set of\u00a02020's\u00a0Summerland<\/em>.\u00a0"At lunch, they served fish," he explained on the Graham Norton Show<\/em><\/a> of the day he was set to get into it with costar Kay Panabaker<\/strong>. "And next was the kissing scene. I was very nervous. We went in for the kiss. I got up this close. I shut my eyes. I'm ready to go in and nothing happens. I'm going further and nothing's happening. I'm getting further and further, thinking eventually we're going to touch. And then I hear, 'Oh my gosh, did you have salmon for lunch? Seriously?'"
Harsh, but he learned a valuable lesson:\u00a0"I carry a toothbrush everywhere I go now."
Among Tobey Maguire<\/strong><\/a>'s most terrifying stunts on the Spider-Man<\/em> set: That iconic kiss with, at the time, real-life girlfriend<\/a> Kirsten Dunst<\/strong><\/a>.\u00a0
"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\u00a0explained to Parade\u00a0<\/em>in 2007. "Then, when Kirsten rolled back the wet mask, she cut off the air completely."
Here's something you don't\u00a0hear often: Kissing Brad Pitt<\/strong><\/a> kinda sucks. To be fair, Dunst was only 11 when shooting 1994's Interview With the Vampire<\/em> and the future Sexiest Man Alive was in his thirties.
So we get why she told ET <\/em>at the time, "I hated it so much because Brad was like my older brother\u00a0on set and it's kind of like kissing your brother. It's weird because he's an older guy and I had to kiss him on the lips, so it was gross."
It's an opinion she\u00a0holds eternal, telling the outlet<\/a> in 2019,\u00a0"Yeah, it was gross! I stand by that. It would have been so much creepier if an 11-year-old was like, 'It was great.' You'd be like, 'There's something wrong with this child.'"
It was the best of times, and then the worst of times for frequent Gossip Girl<\/em> make-out partners Penn Badgley<\/strong><\/a> and Blake Lively<\/strong><\/a>. At one point, the actor told Andy Cohen<\/strong><\/a> on Watch What Happens Live<\/em> in 2015, he considered his then-girlfriend as his greatest-ever onscreen kiss, "because we actually had a relationship at the time."
As for his worst, he quipped,\u00a0"Maybe Blake after we broke up."
Colin Farrell<\/strong><\/a> found himself navigating a tricky tightrope when making out with Total Recall<\/em> costar Kate Beckinsale<\/strong><\/a>. "She's married to the director," he explained<\/a> to Conan O'Brien<\/strong><\/a> of why shooting the\u00a02012 flick, helmed by Beckinsale's then-husband\u00a0Len Wiseman<\/strong> was "moderately uncomfortable."
The experience was "a little bit dodgy," he continued, "'cause the director, her husband, wasn't kind enough to leave the room." Perhaps he could have asked him for notes?\u00a0
Is there anything worse than a surveilling husband? Millie Brown Brown<\/strong><\/a> would hazard so.
Just 15 when she first landed one on Stranger Things<\/em>' cohort\u00a0Finn Wolfhard<\/strong><\/a>, "My dad was watching," she revealed. "My dad watched the whole thing, my whole family was there, and it was the most awkward thing in the world." So, we're guessing, like, a one out of 11?\u00a0
Hazards of the job: While puckering up for Ryan Reynolds<\/strong><\/a> seems like a sweet gig, his Deadpool <\/em>costar Morena Baccarin<\/strong><\/a> revealed it wasn't exactly super<\/em>.\u00a0"I keep saying that kissing him in that mask is like kissing a giant latex condom," she joked to People Now<\/a>. "It basically just smells like rubber the entire time."
Playing the groom to Sienna Miller<\/strong><\/a>'s bride in 2008's Camille<\/em> was actually kind of a pain, James Franco<\/strong><\/a> shared. "I think we kissed once in that film and it wasn't at all intense\u2014there was no rolling around or anything," he has said <\/a>of the\u00a0rom-com. "Sienna's molar was giving her pain so she called the dentist!"
After\u00a0filming romance\u00a0The Spectacular Now<\/em> with Shailene Woodley<\/strong><\/a>, Miles Teller<\/strong><\/a> shared every last dirty detail at a 2013 screening<\/a>.\u00a0
"Before our first kissing scene, Shailene took these Chinese dirt supplements and shoved them in her mouth," he recalled. "It's like a dirt pouch, and it smells like crap." Ah,\u00a0eau de romance!\u00a0
