Dave Franco reveals Alison Brie likes to recreate ‘sloppy' and ‘awkward' reality TV kisses with him
The 40-year-old actor - who married the Community star, 42, in 2017 - shared Alison isn't afraid to bring steamy smooches she's seen on the box into their relationship, even if it ends with unfavourable results.
Speaking with People, Alison said: 'You know what traumatizes Dave in terms of making out? Is that sometimes if we're watching a reality show like The Bachelor or Love Island …'
Dave quickly added: '… And there's these first kisses that are sometimes a little sloppy or a little awkward. She always wants to recreate them on me.'
Dave and Alison will next be seen on the silver screen together in the upcoming horror movie Together.
In the film, a couple's move to the countryside takes a terrifying turn when a supernatural presence begins to alter their love, their lives, and even their bodies.
Dave teased Together 'goes full bonkers, body horror mania'.
He told Collider: 'We've got a codependent couple, not unlike ourselves. They're going through some issues.
'They moved to the middle of nowhere to try to just kind of have a new start, but they encounter something supernatural that just kind of brings all the issues right to the surface.'
The Now You See Me star said the intimacy in Together 'goes to such an extreme level' that he didn't think he could have made the movie with anyone other than his wife.
He said: 'It goes to such an extreme point where we truly looked at each other at the end of each day, and we were like, 'We could not have made this movie with anyone else.''
Alison - who has worked with Dave on movies like 2023's Somebody I Used to Know - said the couple's 'shorthand has gotten shorter and shorter' in their professional relationship.
She explained: 'I think, to do this project, we have acted in some things together, and by this point, Dave has directed me in a couple of movies, we wrote a film together.
'Our shorthand has gotten shorter and shorter to where it's like a mind-meld, eye-contact thing.
'We've been together over a decade, so has this couple in the movie. We're very selective about projects that we will act in together.
'We read scripts quite often, where we would act together, and it's all about which one makes the most sense, and this one did.'

Pamela Anderson relished singing in The Naked Gun
Pamela Anderson relished indulging her love of jazz music in The Naked Gun. The 58-year-old actress plays Beth Davenport in the new comedy movie, and Pamela has revealed that she loved singing with a jazz band in one particular scene. The Hollywood star - who appears alongside Liam Neeson in the new movie - told People: "I was the scat soloist in eighth grade. I love jazz. I play saxophone, and I have scatted a few times. "So when I read that in the script I decided it was meant to be. Who else could do this? I think that's how I [decided], 'Maybe I can do this role.'" Pamela still has fond memories of shooting the scene. She said: "I love to scat. It was scripted, it wasn't just impromptu. And I still can't get it out of my head. I still can remember the entire thing, singing the jazz." Earlier this month, meanwhile, Pamela observed that all actors need to show "courage" in their careers. The movie star actually feels she performs at her best whenever she's "terrified", like when she sang in The Naked Gun. Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, Pamela explained: "You have to have courage. You have to have courage to be an actor at all. But that's my happy place is when I'm terrified. "I actually really enjoy singing. I love being on stage … The feeling is so rewarding because I feel like we repress so much of ourselves, and especially as an artist, and I love to write and journal and write poetry, but performing and working on a movie is another way to express yourself because everything is loaded." Pamela revealed that she actually leaned on her own life experiences for her Naked Gun performance. The actress - who rose to international stardom by playing 'C.J.' Parker in Baywatch in the 90s - said: "All the words to that song, I'm thinking of personal experiences in my life, and so I'm able to get it out even in a crazy scene like that. So it's not just spitting out the words, it's performing some of your innermost thoughts."

Julie Bowen 'started laughing' over fate of Happy Gilmore 2 character
Julie Bowen "started laughing" when she learned that her character dies in Happy Gilmore 2. The 55-year-old actress has reprised the role of Virginia Venit for the comedy sequel, and Julie has recalled laughing when she discovered her character's fate in the movie. The Hollywood star - who appeared in the original Happy Gilmore movie in 1996 - told People: "When I found out that I was killed on page 12, I started laughing. "I was on vacation with my family, and I had no wifi. I could barely read this thing. I only had my phone, and I was like, 'Am I seeing this right'? Trying to blow it up. "And I was like, 'Oh, yeah, I'm dead. And he kills me.' Then I just started laughing. I just started laughing and laughing, and Adam [Sandler] was trying to get through to me. I was on island with no wifi and barely any cell, and we finally connected. "I go, 'I don't care. It's great. Happy can't be happy.'" Despite this, Julie relished reprising the role of Virginia. The actress said: "It's just fun to be part of the whole thing. Of course, why would I not want to be part of Happy Gilmore, whether I'm a big part, a little part." Meanwhile, Julie previously revealed that she thought Sydney Sweeney was set to replace her in Happy Gilmore 2. The actress thought someone like Sydney, 27, was perfectly suited to replace her in the comedy movie. Julie told The Hollywood Reporter: "I thought, 'Well I won't be in it'. And that was OK - it was like Virginia Venit, it's been 30 years, he's got a hottie. He's got some little bitty on the side, like a cart girl. "As a matter of fact my children told me, before I was even told officially that there was a 'Happy Gilmore' sequel, my now 18-year-old said, 'Mom, I hear they're doing a sequel and he's with Sydney Sweeney as a cart girl.'" Sydney was widely linked with a role in the new 'Happy Gilmore' movie - but Julie was pleasantly surprised to be offered a part in the sequel. She said: "I went, I'm hurt and I so respect that move. Of course, why wouldn't you? So when I got the call that I was actually in it, I was like, 'Are you sure? Come on.'"

Billy Joel recalls being given 'ultimatum' by ex-wife
Billy Joel entered rehab in 2005 after being given an "ultimatum" by his then-wife. The 76-year-old star checked into the Betty Ford Center for the treatment of alcohol abuse, after Katie Lee instructed him to either seek help or end their relationship. In the new HBO documentary Billy Joel: And So It Goes, the musician shares: "With the rehab, you don't go for somebody else. You have to go for yourself. You have to want to do it. I didn't want to do it." Katie - who was married to Billy between 2004 and 2009 - noted that Billy struggled with addiction after taking a break from the spotlight. She explained: "I felt like he needed to be creating, he needed to be making music, performing, to turn down that anxiety of not having an artistic outlet. And there were struggles with addiction. It was really hard to navigate that, because I had no experience with it." Katie recalled there being a "fragile time" in their relationship after Billy returned home from rehab. She reflected: "In a lot of ways it was hard to recover from that. "I don't think either of us wanted it to not work out, but it just became obvious that it wasn't working." Meanwhile, Billy recently admitted that he was hesitant about committing to his HBO documentary. The music icon revealed that he was reluctant to reflect on some of the "stupid stuff" he's done in the past. He told People: "I've resisted this kind of thing for so long. I'm sick of talking about myself. Some of the stupid stuff I did, that's painful to talk about. (But) they asked me for some thematic guidance. I said, 'Just tell the truth.'" The chart-topping star initially just wanted to get the documentary "over with" because he doesn't enjoy talking about himself. The Uptown Girl hitmaker said: "My goal was to get it over with. "When I do interviews, people just ask you about yourself and you get a little self-conscious about it eventually. It's almost embarrassing. "When you're talking about your personal life detached from the material ... I suppose there's a little bit of wariness involved."
