“Horrified Kiss: Megan Fox and Amanda Seyfried Recall Uncomfortable Scene in Jennifer’s Body”

Megan Fox recently revealed that she and Amanda Seyfried were taken aback when they had to share a kiss in the 2009 film Jennifer's Body.

The actress, now 33 years old, described the experience as “stressful” and admitted that neither of them was looking forward to it.

In the horror movie, Jennifer Check, a high school girl, becomes possessed by a demon that preys on her male classmates.

Seyfried portrays Needy, Jennifer's best friend, who attempts to intervene.

In a particular scene, the characters engage in a kiss that left both actresses uneasy.

Reflecting on the moment, Fox disclosed to Variety magazine the discomfort they felt about the intimate scene.

She mentioned that while she was somewhat more at ease with it, Seyfried was particularly apprehensive.

The actresses were also concerned about their chin acne being highlighted in a close-up shot during the kiss.

Seyfried, also 33, previously shared her thoughts on the scene with W Magazine, expressing that their on-screen chemistry was impressive.

Despite their efforts to make the scene appealing, the film did not attract a significant audience upon its release a decade ago.

Jennifer's Body had a lackluster performance at the US box office, earning only $2.8 million on its opening day and $6.8 million over the weekend.

The film received a mix of reviews from critics, some of whom have since revisited their opinions.

The movie, written by Diablo Cody and directed by Karyn Kusama, was initially criticized for its marketing strategy.

However, both Cody and Kusama have highlighted the film's relevance in the #MeToo era, suggesting that it was misunderstood during its initial release.

Kusama expressed frustration over the misinterpretation of the film, emphasizing the differing perspectives between the creators and the audience.

Reflecting on the situation, she acknowledged the broader societal implications of such misunderstandings.

Cody also chimed in, lamenting the underappreciation of Jennifer's Body at the time of its release.

She remarked on the missed opportunities that arose due to the film's lukewarm reception and the audience's reluctance to embrace its unique narrative.

As discussions around the film continue to evolve, many now recognize Jennifer's Body as a cult classic that delves into feminist themes and challenges conventional storytelling.

Despite its initial setbacks, the movie has garnered a newfound appreciation for its bold approach and timely commentary on gender dynamics.
