10 Most Cringeworthy Onscreen Kisses In The History Of Movies

10. Kirsten Dunst And Brad Pitt - Interview With The Vampire

Plenty of movies have forced audiences to watch helplessly while a young starlet does some extremely sensual things with an older actor. For instance, Sir Ben Kingsley and Mary-Kate Olsen - who you may remember as adorable tot Michelle Tanner on Full House - got hot and heavy in a phone booth for coming-of-age tale The Wackness.

But the kiss between 11-year-old Kirsten Dunst and 30-year-old Brad Pitt retains a special place in the Hall of Gross Hollywood Occurrences.

Interview With The Vampire had the unenviable job of portraying a love story between two vampires, one of whom is a grown woman trapped in a little girl's body.

Even though the actual smooch is close-lipped and lasts for just a second, the notion that a bunch of union workers were all gathered around the set while a preteen girl initiated lip contact with a worldwide sex symbol is a bit much to accept.

Making the press rounds before the film's release, Dunst said the scene was the hardest part of filming and that "it was horrible and I hated it!" Even in recent years she's said the kiss was "disgusting" - namely because, once again, she was 11-years-old at the time - and it's hard not to feel the same about it.
