Marina Baccarin isn't holding back when describing what it was
like to kiss her Deadpool Co star Ryan Reynolds.
Wade and Vanessa aren't what you would call the picture
perfect couple in the Deadpool franchise,
but the two actors behind them sure managed to make
every viewer think otherwise.
Their chemistry has been off the charts,
and according to Reynolds, they made it work because they
were already friends to begin with.
So it's safe to say that chemistry will also be
on display in
2024's Deadpool and Wolverine. While speaking to Death's Day Hollywood,
Reynolds said this about working with Baccarin.
We knew each other before.
It takes a very unique person like Marina to play
this role.
You have to be able to go toe to toe
with a guy who was a mentally unhinged mercenary.
She does it so beautifully and we knew the first
time she did that scene with me in the bar,
we were so right. A producer on the film also
said they had an unparalleled dynamic right from their very
first screen test Telling Express.
When Marina came in, you could instantly feel the sexual
chemistry between the two of them.
Not only was it sexual chemistry,
but there was actually comedic chemistry too.
Despite the two actors being total professionals,
Baccarin did admit that there was one thing she didn't
love about working with Reynolds on Deadpool Two.
She said that kissing him was a challenge since the
actor had to wear a full body suit most of
the time.
Baccarin told people. I keep saying that
kissing him in that mask is like kissing a giant
latex condom.
Basically just smells like rubber.
Baccarin also confessed that kissing Reynolds with his ugly face
on made her apprehensive at first.
She quipped to death's day.
Hollywood, I'm not going to lie to you,
looking at that thing, it was crazy.
And the first time I saw it,
I said I got to kiss that.
There was red stuff coming out,
but it was all very alive.
It was oozing. But that's what was beautiful about them,
that they're going to make it.
Baccarin also said Reynolds prosthetics,
which gave him the appearance of having tumor like scars,
made it extra difficult to convey emotions.
She recalled to people he was a trooper.
I feel like when I looked at his face,
it was harder to connect with him with the person.
And then when it was just him,
I just felt like I could actually see his eyes.
So it's a little challenging to act with the mask,
essentially. Aside from the kissing scenes,
Baccarin admitted that the love scenes were even more challenging
to shoot.
In an interview on Live with Kelly and Michael,
she joked that the experience was terrible,
adding it was really painful.
Guys, I mean, the guy is just so ugly.
He's gross, mean guy, no sense of humor.
But she went on to share that she felt self-conscious,
especially since she had just given birth.
Then Baccarin told the hosts.
I was a little intimidated.
I'd had a child. As a woman,
you feel more judged, I think,
than the guys do in this kind of scenario.
The good news is Reynolds was incredibly supportive,
supportive and made sure that there was no awkwardness.
In an interview with Collider,
Baccarin also said there was a lot of laughing on
set adding.
And that stuff is always uncomfortable,
but we made the best of it.
You get so used to each other.
It wasn't really surprising that Baccarin shared how much she
enjoyed working with Reynolds.
In an interview with HuffPost,
she had this to say about her Co star.
This guy works so, so hard and is so smart
about the choices that he's making.
It was a total joy.
It was just the best movie experience I've had.
It was so intoxicating being around him.
