Ethan Hawke admits he was 'disappointed' how first real-life kiss with Gwyneth Paltrow went down

"I remember, to be honest, I didn't even say this to her, being disappointed that was my dare because I didn't want that to be the way. …I  wanted to kiss her, but not in a game," Hawke said. "I'm allowed to say that now."

"There was about a six-month period where I would run into you at six or seven different places, at somebody's house, at a play opening, at Corner Bistro or this other bar. It was so much fun. There were no phones," Hawke told Paltrow in an interview with Vanity Fair.

Hawke went on to pinpoint the exact moment their first kiss took place, a casual, unscripted night that has stuck with him decades later.

"That's the first time we made out. Do you remember? Truth or Dare at my apartment on Prince Street. What a highlight," Paltrow said.

Still, Hawke said the setting didn't live up to the romantic expectations he had built up in his mind.

As he revisited the memory, Hawke emphasized again how he "didn't want that [kiss] to happen in that stupid game" because he "had different plans for that moment."

"Do you remember Alfonso pitching you the love scene?" Hawke asked, referring to the film's director, Alfonso Cuarón. 

Paltrow replied, "Oh my god," explaining that Cuarón had wanted to film a scene in which her character received oral sex from Hawke's character.

"I was like, 'Oh my god, my father's going to have a heart attack,'" she remembered.
