Hollywood icon George Clooney has announced he will no longer perform on-screen kissing scenes, a decision stemming from a candid conversation with his wife.
Clooney, married to human rights lawyer Amal Clooney since 2014, stated that turning 60 prompted a period of reflection on both his personal and professional life.
“I’m trying to not kiss anybody in movies anymore. I’ve done enough kissing,” the 64-year-old George Clooney explained in an interview with The Daily Mail.
A Shift in Approach for a Hollywood Veteran
Clooney, known for roles in romantic comedies such as 2022’s Ticket to Paradise alongside Julia Roberts, 2003’s Confessions of a Dangerous Mind, and 1996’s One Fine Day with Michelle Pfeiffer, has frequently appeared in films featuring romantic storylines. This decision comes as the entertainment industry increasingly scrutinizes on-screen intimacy.
However, the actor indicated that his approach to such scenes has evolved over time. In a 2022 interview with The New York Times, Clooney recalled early career feedback regarding his kissing style. “I remember a director saying, ‘Not like that.’ And I was like, ‘Dude, that’s my thing! That’s how I kiss people in real life!’” he joked.
