What is it about some of Hollywood's most stunning leading ladies wanting to make kissing scenes as unpleasant as possible for their partners? Are they trying to tell us something about how kissing scenes make them feel in general? First, we had Jennifer Lawrence tormenting Liam Hemsworth, now Dane Cook found himself as the unwitting receptacle of Kate Hudson's deliberately-induced halitosis!
Cook and Hudson actually got on very well while making 'My Best Friend's Girl' together, so Hudson felt comfortable enough by setting him up for a disgusting time during romantic scenes. Without telling Cook, she ate a handful of 'the smelliest onions she could find' right before the two of them took to the bedroom to shoot the scene. Having been given time to think about it, Cook would later describe the experience as 'the worst on-screen kiss of all time.'
