“It’s a totally different experience. But really you really have to be Angelina Jolie to pull that off and still look good. I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but I ain’t no Angie.”

Over a successful career so far, Anne Hathaway has been paired with many actors and has been part of many romantic and intimate scenes with different stars.  Hathaway confessed that she hasn’t had the best kissing experience with a lot of actors on screen.

But there were a few exceptions like X-Men star James McAvoy. Hathaway who worked with McAvoy in Becoming Jane, credited the Split actor for being one of the best on-screen kissers and a very comfortable co-star to be around.
