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.
Stiles and Lydia
Towards the beginning of the series, Stiles innocently kisses Martin on the cheek in a rather intuitive manner. Lucky for him, it made it into the episode.
The decision put Stile’s character in a new light. Given the response from fans, the showrunners then decided to work in a full-blown love story for the two characters in the series.
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.
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.
Maverick and Charlie
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.
