George Clooney recalled a director criticising his kissing skills on the basis that it was too authentic.
George Clooney Recalls Director Criticising His Kissing Scenes-‘I Was Like, Dude’
The 61-year-old actor experienced the incident during the earlier part of his career. While the aim of acting is to make things look as authentic as possible, it turns out that Clooney’s performance was seen as being too genuine.
The actor did not name the film, nor the director that was responsible for this which is understandable due to the additional negative media scrutiny that it could generate.
But in any event, he was left taken aback by the reaction. In his comments, he said: “I remember early on in my career, I had to do a kissing scene with this girl and the director goes, “Not like that.” And I was like, “Dude, that’s my move! That’s what I do in real life!”
Once again, fans will have an opportunity to see Clooney kiss another person on screen. And this includes none other than Julia Roberts. The duo starred in their upcoming film ‘Ticket To Paradise.’
So after having worked together previously, it would have been understandable that any kissing scenes would not affect them too much. And yet, it appears that even being a seasoned actor was not enough to help the duo get things done quickly.
Clooney’s following comments confirmed as much: “Yeah. I told my wife [Amal Clooney], ‘It took 80 takes. She was like, “What the hell?”‘ The fans on social media could not help but comment on the chemistry between Clooney and Julia.
That may have partly been the reason why it took them so long to get the scene done since they are very close friends off screen too. One person wrote: “I always thought they belonged together and still do. Perfect for each other.”
It is safe to say that Clooney has now had enough time to perfect his kissing scenes. So there you have it folks. What did you think about this? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section below.
