Sally Field, a Hollywood legend, has had her fair share of romantic moments on screen. But, in a recent interview, she revealed the one co-star who left her less than impressed. Field, known for her incredible talent and versatility, has had a storied career spanning decades.
From her iconic roles in Steel Magnolias and Forrest Gump to her more recent appearances in Dispatches From Elsewhere and Winning Time: The Rise of the Lakers Dynasty, Field has captivated audiences with her incredible range. But, it’s not all been smooth sailing.
In a candid moment on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, Field confessed that her worst on-screen kiss was with none other than her ex-boyfriend, Burt Reynolds. The two met on the set of Smokey and the Bandit in 1977 and dated for almost five years.
Field revealed that Reynolds’ kissing style left much to be desired, with too much “drooling” involved. Despite their romantic relationship, Field admitted that she had to “look the other way” during filming.
Reynolds, who passed away in 2018, had expressed regret over their time together, wishing he had done more to mend their relationship. Field, however, had her reasons for distancing herself, citing that Reynolds was “not a good fit” for her.
This candid confession offers a glimpse into Field’s personal and professional life, showcasing her willingness to speak her truth. With a career spanning over five decades, Field remains an icon in Hollywood, and her honesty only adds to her enduring appeal.
