In a surprising revelation, actress Sally Field expressed her dissatisfaction with her onscreen kiss with the late Burt Reynolds during their time filming Smokey and the Bandit.

During an interaction with fans on Bravo’s Watch What Happens Live, Field didn’t hold back when asked about her worst onscreen kiss.

She shocked viewers by naming Burt Reynolds as the culprit, who passed away in 2018.

Field hesitated briefly before dropping the bombshell, stating, “Oh boy, shall I really name names here?

Okay, this is gonna be a shocker.

Hold on, folks… Burt Reynolds.”

She continued to explain further, disclosing, “It was just not something he really did very well.

I could go into detail, but you don’t want to hear it.”

When pressed for more details by host Andy Cohen and guest Idina Menzel, Field humorously mentioned, “Just a lot of drooling was involved,” effectively shutting down any further probing.

Despite their lackluster kissing scenes, Field and Reynolds had an on-and-off romantic relationship that spanned five years from the late 1970s to the early ’80s.

Reynolds often publicly declared Field as the love of his life, even revealing a peculiar claim that he had loved her since she was seven years old.

However, Field’s perspective on their relationship differed significantly.

In her 2018 memoir, In Pieces, released shortly after Reynolds’ passing, she portrayed him as controlling and described their partnership as a blend of imperfections, as reported by Vanity Fair.

Reflecting on their history, Field acknowledged that Reynolds would always hold a place in her memories but confessed that she had minimal communication with him during the last three decades of his life.

Opening up about their dynamic, Field expressed to Variety in March that Reynolds was not a positive influence on her and had misconstrued their connection, emphasizing that she was not as significant to him as he believed.

The uncomfortable kiss experience between Field and Reynolds has now resurfaced, shedding light on a lesser-known aspect of their shared history on-screen.
