Sally Field anoints Burt Reynolds as her worst on-screen kiss
"A lot of drooling was involved," said Sally Field about her former co-star Burt Reynolds while on Watch What Happens Live! With Andy Cohen
Aux News Kiss
Despite being a 1970's sex symbol, Burt Reynolds may have been decidedly unsexy at something: kissing. At least according to his former Smokey And The Bandits co-star and Oscar winner Sally Field, who dropped all the slobbery details on a recent episode of Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen.
As is the set-up with Cohen’s delightfully chaotic show, the answer came via an audience-asked question, this time from the hard-hitting Mary Anne of New York. Setting up the question with Field’s named favorite on-screen kiss from James Garner in Murphy’s Romance (not so surprising from someone who starred in The Notebook), Mary Anne goes for the jugular: Who was Field’s worst kiss with a fellow actor?
“Okay, this is going to be a shocker, hold on folks,” forewarned the Norma Rae star, before dropping Reynolds’ name to a gasping audience. Yet, the situation continued to get worse, as Cohen brought up the fact that the two weren’t just acting in a film together but dating off-set as well.
“I try to look the other way and say, ‘that was just then,’ but he… it just was not something he did really well,” remarked Field, laughing as a clear indicator of Reynolds’ less than stellar smooching methods.
What were the issues Field faced against Reynolds and his kissing? Well, according to the actor, “a lot of drooling” was the main culprit. To which we, like the reactionary Watch What Happens Live audience members, exclaim “ew” in empathy for what Field had to endure.
While not giving juicy, old Hollywood gossip with Andy Cohen, Field will star in the upcoming tear-jerker romance Spoiler Alert, as well as the bananas-looking New England Patriots football film 80 For Brady alongside Jane Fonda, Lily Tomlin, Rita Moreno, and Tom Brady himself.

“Setting up the question with Field’s named favorite on-screen kiss from James Garner in Murphy’s Romance…”
I know what’s being said here, but in another, more accurate sense, I don’t know what’s being said here.
I have to believe the Colin Firth is someone’s worst kiss. Whenever I see him kiss on screen it just looks so awful and awkward. He just looks like the worst kisser in the world, but I wonder if it’s possible he’s better in real life.
Oh, he is…he is. I understand. From a friend.
What is hapenning here??
I’ll take your Colin Firth and raise you a Woody Allen. Helena Bonham Carter famously said it was “like kissing the Berlin Wall.”
We’ll have to wait until Cohen interviews Toni Collette’s Ass.
I always thought the same thing about De Niro. No matter how ‘method’ he used to be… he always did that weird awkward kiss in a handful of flicks.
I once herd Reynolds say she gave terrible hummers so I guess they’re even.
Where’d ya here that?
From Trebek’s mother.
Ah fuck wrong reference but whatever.
Is your earing ok? I have douts
Sally Field was smoking hot back in the day despite her nice girl roles
It depends on whether the ‘stache was a softie or not.
Can you blame him for droolin’ all over Sally Field? Should’ve called that movie Smokeshow and the Bandit.
“Go put on your nun’s habit!”
Not the Paul Crewe! Say it ain’t so Sally.
I wonder if she confused him with that 70s porn star Burt Reynolds impersonator
I was lucky that my wife loves me enough when we first started dating she explained that she really liked me but I sucked at kissing. We eventually figured it out and 15 years later she rarely has to remind me to swallow before we start making out :).
This is painting a much wilder portrait of your sex life than you intend.
Back in the day they called Burt ‘Droolio Iglesias’.
Thanks.
She keeps throwing Burt Reynolds under the bus. Let the man rest in peace. Didn’t you torture him enough when he was alive.
Funny coincidence: the first nude sex scene (well, it’s what you might call “full-sidal nudity”) I ever saw when I was able to as an adolescent (and Canada slapped a vague “Mature” rating on everything in between G and porn and I seemed able to get into anything) was with… Burt Reynolds and Sally Field! (The End, a comedy I enjoyed but seems hard to find now, I’ve seen it pop up and quickly vanish from streamers only a couple of times).
