Surprise! Epic On-Screen Kisses That Were Unscripted And Others That Were A Long Time Coming

Trending | 9/27/24

A kissing scene can be an epic surprise, whether it's scripted or not. Some of the most famous smooches were originally unplanned; the actors just happened to be "in the moment," they had a crush on their co-star (yes, we mean you, Woody Harrelson), or the showrunners decide to give fans what they've been waiting for -- a long-awaited romance.

Either way, these epic on-screen kisses were a total surprise!

The kiss between Maverick and Charlie might be one of the most beautifully corny love scenes in filmmaking history, and it was totally improvised. When Charlie finally catches up with Maverick, telling (yelling) at him that she doesn't want people to know she's falling for him, actor Tom Cruise freezes.

He actually forgot his line! Instead, he takes actress Kelly McGillis and kisses her. The filmmakers like the improved scene so much they kept it in the movie.

There were no onion pranks involved in the kissing scene between Josh Hutcherson and Jennifer Lawrence in The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, but according to Hutcherson, he ended up receiving a slobbery doggy kiss. In an October 2014 article in Elle, Hutcherson said Lawrence was a "slobbery" kisser. He also said that she had some dribbling problems. At least she saved a bunch of lives in the movie.
