Jennifer Lopez Names Her Top On-Screen Kisser Among Hollywood Stars — And It’s Not Who You’d Expect
A seasoned romantic comedy actress shares her pick for the best cinematic kiss, choosing from six iconic leading men — and surprisingly highlighting a recent collaborator from her latest Netflix project.
Jennifer Lopez joined Andy Cohen on “Watch What Happens Live” in an October 2025 episode, participating in the popular “Plead the Fifth” segment.
Cohen prompted her to select the finest on-screen kisser from notable past partners: George Clooney, Matthew McConaughey, Ralph Fiennes, Richard Gere, Owen Wilson, and Josh Lucas.
Memorable Chemistry with George Clooney
One of Lopez’s standout romantic roles was opposite George Clooney in the 1998 film “Out of Sight,” directed by Steven Soderbergh.
The movie remains a highlight of her early career, with promotional images showcasing their evident spark.
Commercial Success with Matthew McConaughey
Lopez reentered the genre with 2001’s “The Wedding Planner,” co-starring Matthew McConaughey.
The production achieved strong box office performance, solidifying her status as a rom-com favorite.
Cross-Class Love Story with Ralph Fiennes
2002’s “Maid in Manhattan” featured Lopez as a hotel worker falling for Ralph Fiennes’ affluent politician.
The tale of unexpected connection across divides proved another popular entry.
Dance-Filled Romance with Richard Gere
In 2004’s “Shall We Dance?,” Lopez partnered with Richard Gere in a story involving ballroom lessons, alongside Susan Sarandon.
Marketing highlighted their elegant sequences.
Modern Pairing with Owen Wilson
Lopez’s most current romantic lead was Owen Wilson in 2022’s “Marry Me,” depicting a superstar’s spontaneous marriage to an audience member.
Lopez’s Surprising Choice
As Cohen listed the established names, Lopez inquired for clarification: “Rom-com specific, or general?”
Upon confirmation of flexibility, she delivered an unforeseen answer: “My recent project with Brett Goldstein—he’d be my top kisser.”
She referenced the Netflix rom-com “Office Romance,” announced on Instagram March 7, 2025. Co-starring “Ted Lasso” performer Brett Goldstein, filming occurred in Hoboken, New Jersey, near her Bronx origins.
Goldstein humorously recounted the production in a September 26, 2025, USA Today piece, noting challenges from photographers during outdoor shoots near Lopez’s roots: “Dream overall,” but exterior days “nightmare” due to crowds. He quipped future collaborations would favor interiors.
Despite collaborations with legendary figures, Lopez selected her latest co-star for superior on-screen chemistry.
