Cara Delevingne talks ‘fun’ Selena Gomez kiss in ‘Only Murders in the Building’
Cara Delevingne and Selena Gomez lock lips on Season 2 of “Only Murders in the Building” and the model is breaking down their “fun” kiss.
“It was just hysterical,” the 29-year-old told E! News of the smooch on Tuesday. “It’s just one of those things, especially when you know someone so well, it’s the comfortability and you kind of have fun with it.”
Delevingne asked, “Would anyone in the world not like to kiss Selena?”
The England native plays Alice on the Hulu show, an art gallery owner who has a romance with Gomez’s character, Mabel Mora.
The actresses are real-life friends — and even have matching tattoos — but Delevingne noted that they “never get to see each other” due to their “busy” schedules.
“So to be able to spend that much time with her and also to be able to work with her [was great],” the “Paper Towns” star gushed. “She is brilliant, like, one of my favorite actors I’ve ever worked with.”
Social media users have had mixed reactions to the pals’ onscreen romance since their kissing scene aired.
While many pointed out that the former Disney Channel star, also 29, appeared “uncomfortable,” others explained that the “Wizards of Waverly Place” alum was aiming for the awkward tension.
“I don’t know why y’all making it seem she wasn’t doing her job right,” one fan tweeted. “Y’all know her character have [sic] always been uncomfortable with people.”
Another posted a screenshot of a recent interview with Gomez being asked about her character’s sexuality.
The “Love You Like a Love Song” singer called Mabel “repressed,” explaining, “Not because she’s ashamed or anything, but rather her trauma. She has great difficulty with intimacy with men, women, etc. She’s really determined to stop those things from defining her.”
Gomez added that she “really enjoyed exploring those nuances related to her mental health” while playing Mabel.
The songwriter joked about her own dating life while hosting “Saturday Night Live” last month.
Gomez, who has previously dated Justin Bieber and The Weeknd, said in her May monologue that she would “take anyone.”
