EW Take us underneath the bonnet: What was it like kissing Gwyneth Paltrow?

BLACK They say that when you kiss in a scene on a film set, it's clinical. It's like you're doing carpentry or something, right? That's not the case. I was very self-conscious because I'd never done a screen kiss. My body language was super-duper stiff, like straight back and fully robotic. I was terrified. [Affects distinguished tone] But within that, there was a softness and a tenderness and a strange mixture of emotions. There was a thrill--and there was a chill. I still recommend kissing Gwyneth--even in the fat suit. Actually, when she had the prosthetics on, I was much more relaxed. I was like, ''Yeah, I'm not afraid to gaze into your eyes now. Oh, I could get you for real. No problem.''
