Hollywood actors who famously refused to film kissing scenes with their co-stars

For most Hollywood actors, kissing their co-star is just another day at the office, but not everyone is willing to lock lips for the sake of the scene. 

From stars who refused to film intimate scenes out of respect for their spouses to those who never quite gelled with a co-star, these celebrities all drew the line when it came to on-screen romance. 

Join HELLO! as we discover the Hollywood stars who famously refused to film kissing scenes with their co-stars.

The You star felt so uncomfortable with filming intimate scenes on the set of the thriller series that he asked the show's creator to axe them altogether in the fourth season.

"I asked Sera Gamble, 'Can I just do no more intimacy scenes?' This is actually a decision I'd made before I took the show," Penn shared on his Podcrushed podcast.

"I don’t think I’ve ever mentioned it publicly, but one of the main things was, like, do I want to put myself back on a career path where I'm just always the romantic lead? Fidelity in every relationship, and especially my marriage, is really important to me," he added. 

The actor has been married to Domino Kirke since 2017. Thankfully, You's writers were more than happy to accommodate his request.

Neal is a Hollywood staple best known for starring in Band of Brothers, Minority Report and Justified. 

However, his career began to fizzle after word got around Tinseltown that he refused to kiss any co-stars due to his Christian faith, and Neal even lost out on a role in Scoundrels as a result.

"I was [surprised], and it was a horrible situation for me," he told Closer of being let go from the show. 

"After that, I couldn’t get a job because everybody thought I was this religious zealot. I am very religious. I put God and family first, and me second. That’s what I live by."

"It was hard for a few years. But I was not going to lose the fight. And it worked. My career has been phenomenal," he added. 

"I won’t kiss any other woman because these lips are meant for one woman." He has been married to South African model Ruvé Robertson since 2003, and the pair share five children.

Former child actor Kirk Cameron is fiercely devoted to his wife, Chelsea Noble, whom he married in 1991, so much so that he found a way around kissing his co-stars on set.  

“I have a commitment not to kiss any other woman,” he told Today. Instead of Kirk kissing actress Erin Bethea while filming Fireproof, Chelsea stepped in as her body double for a makeout scene.
