Who’s your favorite romantic acting duo? Finding that connection and keeping it going can be one of the most difficult parts of the job. Romantic scenes can go sour for several reasons. Kissing is a talent that some actors, even major names like Harrison Ford, don’t have. Thandie Newton says that Tom Cruise is too wet and sloppy.

Getting too particular about how the scenes go down can take away their passion. Woody Allen was a drill sergeant to Helena Botham Carter, and she said kissing him was like kissing the Berlin Wall. Bad breath doesn’t make the experience pleasant. Eva Mendes had stinky comfort food before kissing Will Smith.
An illness is even worse. Robert Pattinson had the flu when he had to kiss Reese Witherspoon but, as they say, the show must go on. The voyeuristic nature of the film can make romantic scenes difficult. What if you were Kate Winslet and you had to kiss Leonardo Dicaprio while your husband was the director? Kissing an actor you’ve come to see as a friend feels awkward, and it did for Emma Watson and Rupert Grint. Even a few friendly fights like those between Leah Remini and Kevin James can make it difficult to lock lips.
Religious beliefs can also turn actors off from romantic scenes in general. They make born-again Christians Candace and Kirk Cameron cringe. Tiger Shroff has even worked a no-kissing clause into his contract to respect his culture and girlfriend. Actors may have to fake romantic scenes to save the movie. Would you believe that the stars of The Notebook didn’t get along or that the stars of Romeo + Juliet had no chemistry when they kissed?
