MCU: 10 Scenes Actors HATED Shooting
3. Gwyneth Paltrow Hated Kissing Robert Downey Jr - Iron Man 2
Scenes involving a dose of intimacy aren't at the top of many actors list of things they relish seeing pop up on the call sheet. Simply put, they often require intense vulnerability and it's not exactly easy getting into the romantic zone when you have a ton of crew members staring at you as they try to capture the best possible shot for the feature.
But adding to this collection of elements that making smooching on set an arduous task, Gwyneth Paltrow also found kissing Robert Downey Jr. on everything from Iron Man 2 to Infinity War to be a tall order for another reason; it was like kissing her brother.
As she'd reveal when talking on her Goop podcast:
"Like with Robert, when I kissed him and I was like, ‘You've got to be kidding me.’ This is literally like kissing my brother."
Regularly proving just how professional and committed the blockbuster stars are when all is said and done, it's hard to believe the electric-chemistry-boasting pair found locking lips so tough in their various on-screen link ups over the course of a decade of MCU shenanigans.
