Sally Field recently revealed in an interview that her worst kiss on film was with none other than Burt Reynolds, her co-star and former boyfriend. The admission came during a fan Q&A on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen.
She confessed that during the filming of Smokey and the Bandit, she had to “look the other way” during kissing scenes because Reynolds’ technique wasn’t particularly romantic or pleasant, involving frequent drooling.
The pair’s relationship, which lasted approximately five years, was tumultuous. Field has been open about the difficulties they faced, explaining in her memoir In Pieces that Reynolds was a challenging partner.
This revelation adds a humanizing and humorous note to the memory of a legendary Hollywood romance.
