Rob Lowe gets candid about his best on-screen kiss as other major stars dish on their worst

Rob Lowe named Nastassja Kinski his best on-screen kiss, while several other actors have shared memorable good or bad experiences filming romantic scenes. Their stories show how a scene’s chemistry, circumstances and even a co-star’s breath or illness can shape an actor’s recollection.

Lowe said he was struck by Kinski’s beauty while filming “The Hotel New Hampshire”, though he felt nervous about kissing her. Sharon Stone praised Robert De Niro’s kiss in “Casino”, while Sylvester Stallone recalled catching flu after kissing Talia Shire during “Rocky”. Nicole Kidman said Alexander Skarsgård’s falafel breath put her off before a scene on “Big Little Lies”; the supplied article text cuts off during its account of Kate Hudson.
