Hollywood’s biggest stars keep naming the same handful of co-stars when the subject of on-screen kissing comes up.

Movie sets are crowded, over-lit, and about as far from romantic as a workplace gets — dozens of crew members, boom mics overhead, and a director yelling “cut” mid-kiss. Yet when actors get pressed about their favorite scene partners, a few names surface again and again, from Angelina Jolie to Chris Pratt. Nicki Swift’s video “Actors Reveal Who They Liked Kissing Most On-Screen” rounds up the confessions actors have made on talk shows and in interviews about who they’d want to lock lips with again.

• Ethan Hawke told Andy Cohen on Watch What Happens Live that Angelina Jolie, his co-star in the 2004 thriller Taking Lives, gave him his best on-screen kiss, saying she “was born to whittle men and to make them weak.”
• Bryce Dallas Howard called kissing Chris Pratt on the set of Jurassic World (2015) “perfect in every way” and joked his breath tasted “like Starburst.”
• Penn Badgley named his real-life girlfriend at the time, Blake Lively, as both his best and — after their breakup — his worst on-screen kiss from Gossip Girl.

The Watch What Happens Live Confessions

Andy Cohen’s clubhouse has become something of a confessional booth for celebrity kissing histories. Hawke’s take on Jolie leaned poetic rather than crude, framing their Taking Lives chemistry almost like a compliment to her screen presence rather than a tabloid tease. Jennifer Lopez, appearing on the same show, gave a two-part answer: she named her 2005 An Unfinished Life co-star Josh Lucas as her all-time best kiss, but singled out Ryan Guzman, her The Boy Next Door love interest, as a close second. Guzman returned the favor elsewhere, declaring Lopez his own undisputed number one. Mandy Moore, while doing press for NBC’s This Is Us, kept it in the family — she picked her TV husband, Milo Ventimiglia, as her favorite on-screen partner.

Jurassic World’s Unscripted Chemistry

Howard’s answer about Pratt got the most mileage of the bunch, largely because of how specific — and funny — she was about it. She didn’t just praise the kiss; she wished the scene had run longer and zeroed in on a detail nobody asks about on press tours.

“Perfect in every way” — Bryce Dallas Howard on kissing Chris Pratt, whose breath, she noted, tasted “like Starburst.”

It’s the kind of throwaway detail that turns a routine junket soundbite into the clip people actually remember, and it’s a big reason the moment kept resurfacing whenever *Jurassic World* co-stars did the rounds.

TV Romances That Blurred The Line

Television actors who spend years playing the same couple tend to give answers rooted in real chemistry built over multiple seasons. Sarah Michelle Gellar pointed to Selma Blair and their 1999 park kiss in the cult drama Cruel Intentions, a scene that actually won an MTV Movie Award. Kate Hudson went back to 2002’s The Four Feathers and her scenes with the late Heath Ledger, calling him “beautiful and sweet and gentle” — a description that stands out among the more playful answers on this list, some of which echo the kind of loaded backstage dynamics covered in actors who treat their co-stars like trash.

Badgley’s answer about Lively is the one with the real twist. During their run on Gossip Girl, the two were actually dating, which made their on-screen kissing his favorite by default. After the relationship ended in real life, he pointed to the same kiss as his worst — a reversal that fits neatly alongside the pattern Nicki Swift has tracked in celebs who started out friends and ended up enemies.

Badgley never walked the joke back in later interviews — he still tells it the same way, best kiss and worst kiss, same co-star, same show, just different timelines.
