During a recent reunion on The Drew Barrymore Show, Michael Vartan shared a comical anecdote about his experience kissing Drew Barrymore in the movie Never Been Kissed over 20 years ago.

The actor, who portrayed Sam alongside Barrymore’s Josie in the 1999 film, surprised his former co-star with a revealing and slightly embarrassing story from their time on set.

Vartan recounted the moment when they were filming a pivotal kiss on a baseball field, admitting that he was taken aback by Barrymore’s enthusiasm during the scene.

“I get up to the mound, we embrace and we start kissing and you really kissed me,” he confessed to Barrymore, emphasizing his unpreparedness for the passionate moment due to his young age at the time.

The actor humorously described how he found himself in a predicament during the kiss, realizing that his loose attire might lead to an awkward situation when the camera stopped rolling.

In a quick attempt to diffuse the situation, Vartan decided to call for a break by pretending to have injured his back while playing ball, much to the amusement of the audience.

Despite the unexpected turn of events, Vartan managed to regain his composure and continue filming without further mishaps.

Reflecting on the incident, he complimented Barrymore on her kissing skills, acknowledging the intensity of the on-screen moment that took both actors by surprise.

Barrymore, in response to Vartan’s revelation, playfully recalled her decision to go all-in for the kiss, considering that Vartan was single at the time and thus not bound by any romantic commitments.

The lighthearted banter between the two stars highlighted the playful dynamic they shared while working together on the film.

While Vartan may have been caught off guard by Barrymore’s bold approach to the kissing scene, their on-screen chemistry translated into a memorable and authentic moment for audiences.

The candid exchange between the actors offered fans a glimpse into the behind-the-scenes camaraderie that contributed to the success of Never Been Kissed.

As the cast reunion brought back fond memories of their time filming the romantic comedy, Vartan and Barrymore’s playful recollection of the infamous kissing incident showcased the enduring friendship and mutual respect between the two actors.
