It appears that you would be mistaken to believe that an A-list celebrity like Ryan Reynolds will make a lasting effect on everyone he kisses.
After two days of lip-synching with the Canadian hottie, Morena Baccarin likened it to “kissing a giant latex condom.”
You’ve certainly seen the sex “scene” in the 2016 film, which is actually a series of vignettes that together represent a year of intimate moments.
Baccarin was tasked with kissing her on-screen partner during the original Deadpool film and its sequel in 2018, with Baccarin playing the protagonist’s fiancée, Vanessa Carlysle.
In all fairness to the Wrexham owner, he was wearing a mask for the jam-packed sex scene montage – and Baccarin did applaud how professional he was during it.
The hilarious scene sees the pair dress up in different outfits to celebrate different seasons and festivities that take place throughout the calendar year.
In addition to other national holidays, they observe Valentine’s Day, International Women’s Day, and Christmas.
During her 2017 interview with Conan O’Brien, Baccarin discussed the film in depth, including the two days of filming that were rated X.
She stated: “[The film] was really fun… minus the two days of sex scenes, it was wonderful, the whole experience.”
The Greenland star continued: “It took two days to shoot the sex scene, because I think it was us making sweet love for an entire calendar year. So it was all the holidays, you know. So we dressed differently for every one.”
In an interview with People magazine from 2018, Baccarin clarified that Reynolds wasn’t particularly helped by Deadpool’s outfit.
“I keep saying that kissing him in that mask is like kissing a giant latex condom,” she continued.
“It basically just smells like rubber the entire time.”
You don’t want to hear that from the person you’re kissing, do you?
Having said that, Baccarin has spoken about how her professional co-star helped to make the entire experience bearable.
“[T]here’s a lot of laughing. And that stuff is always uncomfortable,” she told Collider in 2015. “But, we made the best of it.”
Baccarin continued: “By the end of the day you’re like ‘Okay, where do you want me, how do you-?’ You’re like spreading your legs and you’re like whatever, it’s just, you get so used to each other.”
