In case you didn’t see The Interview, one of the most memorable scenes from it is when James Franco and Randall Park lock lips. Well, for some reason, they didn’t do press for that movie when it came out; so Park was able to finally talk about it now on Conan. Anything we hear about the controversial film now is like it is fresh off the boat, even though it is 9 months after the flick’s release.
Park told the TBS Late night host that as an actor, he didn’t think of the kiss as a big deal. That was until they filmed the scene. Then he said, “When we shot the scene and our lips met, something about that guy is magical.” Then he explained, “I mean, his lips are like really soft and it just stayed with me.” It really stayed with him, so much so he couldn’t stop thinking about it for days. Then as most people, who have that special feeling after a kiss, because we all do, he wondered if Franco felt the same way.
A week went by and Park heard that his co-star painted a painting of him as the North Korean leader. It was then that he got his confirmation that their moment stayed with his kissing partner because look at those lips he painted. I have to say I agree with Park because they really do stand out. Well that, and it looks like nothing like him.
