Glenn Close Shares Biggest Regret About On-Screen Kiss With Robert Redford – And Why It’s Her Favorite

On-screen kisses are sometimes the most memorable moments in movies, especially romantic movies. For actors and actresses, these scenes are just as unforgettable. While these kisses are carefully planned and directed, actors and actresses have their least favorite and favorite kiss on set. During her recent appearance on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, Glenn Close revealed her favorite on-screen kiss.

The question came up in her round of “Plead the Fifth,”  the segment in which host Andy Cohen asks guests three questions, and they are given only one opportunity to “Plead the Fifth.” After some thought and a brief smile, Close shared that her favorite on-screen kiss was with Robert Redford in the 1984 film The Natural.

Glenn Close says that her kiss with Robert Redford was her favorite kiss

 The moment may have been brief, but it clearly left a lasting impression on her. “I only got to kiss him once,” Close recalled, adding with a smile, “Maybe we did two takes.” She also mentioned that she threw him out of her apartment in that movie but later ended up with him. In The Natural, Redford played Roy Hobbs, a young baseball player with extraordinary talent whose career stops after a tragic incident.

16 years later, he returns to the sport and reclaims his place as one of the league’s greatest players. Close played the role of Iris Gaines, Hobbs’ former girlfriend, who comes back into his life and becomes a symbol of hope for him. They had sizzling hot chemistry in the movie; perhaps it’s why it’s Close’s favorite.

Glenn Close claims that all her performances deserve an Oscar

Close’s performance in the film earned her an Oscar nomination, one of eight throughout her career. When Cohen asked which of her performances deserved the Oscars award, Close jokingly declared, “All of them!” Robert Redford and Glenn Close remain two of Hollywood’s oldest talents.

Close continues to captivate audiences with her ability to portray complex characters, while Redford, known for classics like Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, has also made his mark as a director and producer. He founded the Sundance Film Festival to champion independent cinema.
