Why Ryan Reynolds perfected his kissing technique

London, July 07: Actor Ryan Reynolds has said that he mastered the technique of kissing to avoid making filmgoers turn away in disgust. The `Proposal` star, who shares the frame with the pal Sandra Bullock in the film, revealed that a disastrous moment early in his career made him realise the importance of kissing convincingly.

"It is strange (kissing a friend). A kissing scene in a movie has to be very elegant I think. You know, you don`t want to go at each other like a couple of farm animals. You want to make it nice and palatable for an audience," the Daily Star quoted him as saying. "Early in my career I worked with an actress and she kind of went for it a little bit too much. I remember that, and we had to save it for the end... At the end of the scene I was standing in her stomach... and I was a little uncomfortable with that, so that ruined our chemistry. But Sandy and I, we just have this kind of firework thing that we`re really grateful we have," he added. ANI
