These Kissing Scenes Were The Actor's First Kiss In Real Life

These Hollywood stars not only had to share their first smooch with a co-worker and in front of a production crew, but all the world got to see it unfold onscreen. Here's a look at some movie scenes that captured an actor's first kiss.

Dakota Fanning might not have been the top-billed member of the cast for the 2002 rom-com Sweet Home Alabama, but the film probably ranks among the most personally significant parts of her filmography, because it just so happened to feature her first real-life kiss.

Fanning, who was still working her way to childhood stardom at the time, appeared in the film's opening scene alongside another young actor named Thomas Curtis. The two played the younger versions of the central southern sweethearts: Reese Witherspoon’s Melanie Smooter and Josh Lucas’s Jake Perry.

Prancing around the beach during a thunderstorm, Jake pesters young Melanie to marry him. She declines, saying she has a lot of life to lead, but she does cave to a kiss. However, their smooch is quickly interrupted by Mother Nature making a rare second lightning strike in the same spot. Fanning would later call the scene, quote, "hot stuff for a seven and a 10-year-old."

Even so, she also admitted that she, quote, "wasn't really into it" and would wipe her mouth off between takes. Considering she was so young, and it was so forced, Fanning doesn't actually count the moment as her real first kiss, and insists the real deal came along several years later under very different circumstances. Keep watching the video to see all these kissing scenes were the actor's first kiss in real life.
