00:00Throughout his decades-long career, Ryan Reynolds has locked lips with many an A-lister, and
00:06a number of them have been more than happy to kiss and tell.
00:10Sophia Bush co-starred with Reynolds in 2002's Van Wilder.
00:14The film was Bush's first, which is nerve-wracking enough.
00:17However, it also came with the added pressure of it being her first ever on-screen kiss.
00:22Luckily for Bush, though, Reynolds was happy to coach her through it.
00:26She told Entertainment Tonight,
00:27"'I said something about it being my first day, and he was like, OK, here's a couple
00:32of things you need to know, and gave me just little technical tips that were so helpful,
00:37put me completely at ease.
00:38Yeah, he's just the best.'"
00:40Bush also went on to laud him for being a stand-up guy in an industry where that can
00:45be a rarity, adding,
00:46"'I just remember Ryan Reynolds being the most professional and kind and courteous man.
00:51And I mean, you want to talk about good men in Hollywood, like aces all around.'"
00:55As for his kissing abilities, Bush has kept it professional, never going into detail.
01:00But Bush hinted to E! News that it had been a good one, saying,
01:04"'My first on-screen kiss was with Ryan Reynolds.
01:07Not shabby.'"
01:09One star who wasn't so enamored with the prospect of planting one on Ryan Reynolds?
01:13His Deadpool franchise leading lady, Morena Baccarin.
01:17However, it had nothing to do with Reynolds himself.
01:20Speaking to Desdé Hollywood, ahead of the first Deadpool film, Baccarin explained the
01:25she didn't like kissing Reynolds because of the prosthetics he had to wear to look
01:29scarred.
01:30She said,
01:31"'I'm not going to lie to you, looking at that thing was crazy.
01:34And the first time I saw it, I said, I got to kiss that.'"
01:38Reynolds didn't paint a particularly pretty picture of what happened when they did actually
01:42kiss, saying,
01:43"'I remember when we first kissed there was a slight squishing sound.'"
01:47It didn't help that the scene also happened right at the end of the day, which contributed
01:51to the experience being what Reynolds described as,
01:54"'Hot and nasty.'"
01:55Yeah, we're not shocked this wasn't the best-ever smooching sequence.
01:59"'I keep saying that kissing him in that mask is like kissing a giant latex condom, because
02:06it basically just smells like rubber the entire time.'"
02:10A few years after Van Wilder, Ryan Reynolds went on to star in Just Friends alongside
02:15Amy Smart and Anna Faris.
02:17The film's poster featured Smart kissing Reynolds on the cheek and Faris taking up a
02:22slightly less demure posture, borderline ripping off his bottom lip.
02:25"'God, I want to lick your skin off.'"
02:27"'I'd prefer you didn't.'"
02:28More than a decade after the film's release, Faris joked about it in an appearance on Watch
02:33What Happens Live.
02:34Asked by a fan if she could share her best and worst on-screen kisses, she admitted that
02:39she typically didn't tend to have serious kisses on camera, but that her Just Friends
02:43kiss was a standout moment.
02:45"'It was a moment where I almost, like, take Ryan's lower lip off my teeth.
02:52That was pretty, that was pretty fun.'"
02:54Given that Faris joked during press for Just Friends that she and Reynolds found the same
02:58kinds of things funny, something tells us it was probably a memorable kiss for him as
03:03well.
03:04That, and the fact that he probably had to ice his lip afterwards.
03:08No list of stars who've kissed Ryan Reynolds would be complete without a mention of his
03:12moment with Andrew Garfield.
03:14At the 2017 Golden Globes, some will remember that Ryan Gosling walked away the victor for
03:19his role in La La Land, only to be upstaged by Reynolds and Garfield locking lips at their
03:25table.
03:26"'Over here, stealing the thunder, is Andrew Garfield and Ryan Reynolds.'"
03:32Speaking to Wired about the moment, Garfield revealed that he had been the one to pitch
03:37it.
03:38According to the Spider-Man alum, he suggested Reynolds kiss him if he won the award for
03:42his work in Deadpool, rather than Blake Lively.
03:45Perhaps unsurprisingly, Reynolds was up for the prank.
03:50Garfield told Wired,
03:51"'He was like, what if?
03:52Even if I don't win, I'm like, yeah, let's just kiss.'
03:56That's exactly what happened."
03:57And suffice it to say, Garfield has no regrets.
04:01As he quipped to Wired,
04:02"'It was nice to do it.
04:04I liked it.'"
04:05I mean, I'm happy for them, honestly, you know?
04:07It's good for them.
