A little on-set drama? Sure, why not. While filming a dinner party flick, our favorite chaos agent, Penelope Cruz, allegedly decided to make things interesting with an improvised kiss for director-star Olivia Wilde. Yep, you heard that right. In what apparently left Olivia flabbergasted, she turned to the camera operator in shock. Can you blame her? One moment you're directing; the next, you’re part of a surprise lip-lock. Wild.
According to sources, Olivia thought she would be all professional, sticking to directing and steering clear of the mess of acting. But here we are, right in the midst of an impromptu smooch. Was it a moment of passion? A chaotic whim? Who knows? The absurdity is rich, though.
Critics are already buzzing, calling this flick 'perversely funny' and a 'sophisticated farce,' which is promising considering the usual drivel out there. Keep your eyes peeled; this unexpected kiss might just usher in some awards chatter. What a time to be alive.
