Liam Hemsworth and Jennifer Lawrence are best known for their time together on The Hunger Games franchise, but the pair are also known for their public back-and-forth about their kissing scenes.
They play Gale and Katniss, respectively, though their friendship goes beyond the screen.
After becoming close from their time together over four films, it’s no surprise that the actors take playful jabs at each other through the media about anything and everything.
Fans of the titles would have been pleased to see the two finally share an on-screen smooch though, as they shared a moment on The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1.

But it turns out that Hemsworth ended up feeling ‘pretty uncomfortable’ when it came to shooting the intimate scene, as he explained why to Jimmy Fallon on his talk show back in 2014.
“Any time I had to kiss Jennifer was pretty uncomfortable,” he began.
The Australian went on: “When you look at it on the outside, it looks like a great picture,
“She’s one of my best friends. I love her. But if we had a kissing scene, she would make a point of eating garlic or tuna fish or something that was disgusting.”
But it looks like, years later, it still bothers Lawrence, as she addressed his comments during her appearance on famous YouTube series Hot Ones.
Speaking to the host of the online show, Sean Evans, the American actor laughed before explaining: “It was not intentional,
“It was just what I was eating, and then we’d kiss. He should just get over it,” she jokingly said.
But the pair haven’t been shy to talk about their friendship, with Lawrence previously admitting that he helped her ‘stand up’ for herself.

Hemsworth isn’t the last actor that the Passengers actor formed a friendly relationship with, though, as she also admitted that it was ‘really, really hard’ to work with Jonah Hill.
She explained to Vanity Fair: “It was really, really hard filming with Jonah, and just not ruining take after take, laughing.
“We one time dedicated an entire day to him just improv-ing insults at me. It was amazing.”
Lawrence went on to praise Hill’s talent for improv, adding that ‘he and Meryl were the only ones who should do that kind of improv’.
“I mean, he’s just a comedic master. I mean we all did some [improv] just not as well as Jonah,” she said.
One scene that featured in the film’s trailer shows Hill’s character telling Lawrence and DiCaprio to: “Sit tight and assess.”
“The sit tight comes first then you’ve got to digest it, that’s the assessment period,” Hill says.
Lawrence reflects: “See? That wasn’t in the script Jonah.”
Liam Hemsworth recently made headlines for calling out his former co-star Jennifer Lawrence for what he deemed a ‘disgusting’ habit while filming kissing scenes. The two actors worked together on the hit Hunger Games franchise, where they shared several romantic moments on screen.
In a recent interview, Hemsworth revealed that Lawrence had a habit of eating garlic or tuna fish before their kissing scenes, leaving him less than thrilled about locking lips with her on camera. “It was absolutely disgusting. I would try to avoid it at all costs, but sometimes there was no getting around it,” Hemsworth said.
While it’s common for actors to use props or special effects to enhance their performances, Hemsworth’s revelation sheds light on the less glamorous side of filming intimate scenes. Despite the less-than-ideal circumstances, Hemsworth and Lawrence maintained a professional relationship on set and delivered believable chemistry on screen.
Fans of the Hunger Games series may now view their on-screen kisses in a different light, knowing the behind-the-scenes details of their filming experience. Despite Hemsworth’s candid comments, it’s clear that both actors were dedicated to their roles and did their best to bring their characters’ relationship to life.
