Sally Field Reveals Burt Reynolds as Her Worst Onscreen Kiss

In a surprising revelation, actress Sally Field disclosed that her former co-star Burt Reynolds was responsible for her worst onscreen kiss.

The beloved star of “Spoiler Alert” shared this tidbit during a recent episode of Bravo's Watch What Happens Live, where she answered a fan question.

Field hesitated before dropping the bombshell, saying, “Should I really reveal the name?

Brace yourselves… it's Burt Reynolds.”

She then went on to provide some insight into the experience, although she chose not to delve into specifics, stating, “Let's just say it wasn't his strong suit.

I could elaborate, but I don't think you want to hear it.”

When the show's host, Andy Cohen, and fellow guest Idina Menzel encouraged her to share more details, Field simply replied, “There was a lot of drooling involved.”

With that response, any hope for further probing came to an abrupt halt.

Field and Reynolds first crossed paths on the set of Smokey and the Bandit and, despite their less-than-stellar onscreen chemistry, they embarked on an on-again, off-again relationship that lasted five years throughout the late 1970s and early 1980s.

In the years following their breakup, Reynolds frequently expressed that Field was the love of his life, even revealing at one point that he had been in love with her since she was seven years old – a sentiment that struck many as peculiar.

However, Field's perspective on their relationship differed greatly from Reynolds'.

In her memoir, In Pieces, published shortly after his death in 2018, she described Reynolds as controlling and highlighted their flaws as a couple, as reported by Vanity Fair.

Following Reynolds' passing, Field appeared on The View and stated that while he would always hold a special place in her heart and history, she had largely distanced herself from him during the last three decades of his life.

“He was not someone I could be around.

He was just not good for me in any way,” Field revealed in an interview with Variety.

“He had somehow convinced himself that I meant more to him than I actually did, but that wasn't the case.

He simply wanted what he couldn't have.

I didn't want any part of that.”

The kiss, or lack thereof, in question occurred during the filming of Smokey and the Bandit, a film that has become iconic in its own right.

Despite their past and the awkwardness of their onscreen romantic encounters, the movie went on to achieve great success.

Field's candid revelation about her worst onscreen kiss has sparked interest among fans and the media alike, providing a glimpse into
