Ethan Hawke reveals why he was disappointed in…
Ethan Hawke says his first real-life kiss with Gwyneth Paltrow didn’t live up to expectations, and he’s still pondering about it many years later.
The Oscar-nominated actor admitted he was “disappointed” his first real-life make-out with his “Great Expectations” co-star occurred during a recreation of Truth or Dare.
During Wednesday’s episode of “Today with Jenna & Friends,” the 55-year-old actor revealed his greatest Hollywood remorse concerned his first kiss with Paltrow, which occurred off-screen and not during the filming of their 1998 movie.
“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.”
The candid confession got here as Hawke and Paltrow lately reunited to reminisce about their early days together in another interview, where the pair mirrored on life — and romance — before smartphones and social media.
“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 precise second their first kiss befell, a informal, unscripted evening that has caught with him many years 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 constructed up in his thoughts.
As he revisited the reminiscence, Hawke emphasised again how he “didn’t want that [kiss] to happen in that stupid game” because he “had different plans for that moment.”
Later in the same interview, Paltrow and Hawke spoke in element about their expertise filming 1998’s “Great Expectations,” including the specific intercourse scene she flat-out refused to do.

“Do you remember Alfonso pitching you the love scene?” Hawke requested, referring to the movie’s director, Alfonso Cuarón.
Paltrow replied, “Oh my god,” explaining that Cuarón had needed to movie a scene in which her character obtained oral intercourse from Hawke’s character.
“I was like, ‘Oh my god, my father’s going to have a heart attack,’” she remembered.
In “Great Expectations,” a modernization of the Charles Dickens basic, Hawke starred as Finn, a painter who was fixated on Paltrow’s Estella.
