It was entirely unscripted and was actually a result of Tom Cruise forgetting his lines. Deciding that actions speak louder than words, the actor felt it was the right move.
The scene was supposed to end with the conversation between Charlie and Maverick, but after feeling that something was missing, the director included the improvised kiss in the final cut because it vastly improved the scene.
Max and Lucas
Sink, being the brave, young actress that she was, still went through with the kiss. Despite Sink’s professional attitude and her admission that she did not feel forced into the kiss, the show’s creators were still heavily criticized for adding this moment to the scene.
Fans felt that the minors were coaxed into the romantic scene. It seemed misplaced and inappropriate. While the actress maintained she was game, people, rightly so, were concerned.
Top Gun
In Top Gun, one of Tom Cruise’s classic films, Charlie (Kelly McGillis) confesses her love to Maverick(Cruise). Mid confession, Charlie adds how she doesn’t want anyone else to know how she feels about him.
Before she can even finish her sentence, Maverick goes ahead and turns up the much-needed electricity to the scene by adding a passionate kiss.
The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 2
At the end of the Mockingjay Part Two (the final film in The Hunger Games series), Effie Trinket (Elizabeth Banks) and Haymitch Abernathy (Woody Harrelson) share a sweet kiss on the cheek and then on the lips!
Later it was revealed that a kiss was never a part of the scene but was, rather genuine gesture on Harrelson’s part.

Harrelson confessed that he had a crush on Elizabeth Banks and may have used this scene as an opportunity to make his personal dreams come true.
While one actor may have been a little more invested in the romantic moment than the other, both made it work for the sake of the scene.
