In a scenario that left him feeling uneasy, actor Colin Farrell found himself grappling with discomfort while kissing Kate Beckinsale for their upcoming film Total Recall.
The challenge arose from the fact that their on-screen lip-lock took place directly in front of Beckinsale's filmmaker husband.
Farrell, known for his roles in various films, stars in the modern retelling of Arnold Schwarzenegger's 1990 classic alongside Beckinsale.
Adding to the complexity of the situation is the fact that the movie is under the direction of her longtime partner, Len Wiseman.
This dynamic created a tense atmosphere during the filming of an intimate scene.
During an appearance on a popular U.S. television show hosted by Conan O'Brien, Farrell candidly shared his feelings about the experience.
He revealed, “She's actually the director's wife.
She's married to the director.
(It was) moderately uncomfortable… Kissing her was a little bit dodgy 'cause the director, her husband, wasn't kind enough to leave the room.
Being a director he had to watch the scene.
It's a little bit creepy.”
The situation presented a unique challenge for Farrell, who had to navigate the complexities of portraying a romantic scene with Beckinsale while her husband, the director, observed the process.
The discomfort stemmed from the unusual circumstance of having to display intimacy in the presence of Wiseman, adding an extra layer of tension to the scene.
Farrell's unease was palpable as he grappled with the delicate balance of performing a passionate kiss with Beckinsale while being acutely aware of Wiseman's watchful eyes.
