Like most people and many actors, Travis feels its a personal and natural thing and terribly awkward to do it while people watch you. Im all for free kisses, he was quoted as saying. But its very uncomfortable. Its just very unnatural doing intimate stuff in front of other people. One thing fans of Vikings can say is that even though Travis FEELS awkward, the scenes he's shared on-screen with Katheryn Winnick (Lagertha in Vikings) and Alyssa Sutherland (Princess Aslaug) have been anything but awkward. Thank God for playing pretend.
