Emily Blunt wanted to be sick after smooching some of her co-stars

She's kissed many a heartthrob in her box office hits including Cillian Murphy, Matt Damon and most recently Ryan Gosling.

But Emily Blunt has revealed she wanted to be sick after smooching some of her co-stars.

Asked whether she ever 'wanted to throw up' after kissing an actor, the actress replied: 'Absolutely, absolutely...I wouldn't say it's extreme loathing, but I've definitely not enjoyed some of it.'

The actress, 41, said that she has developed techniques for kissing co-stars she's not attracted to and is well-versed in creating 'chemistry'.

She told American radio host Howard Stern : 'I think my feeling is I've got to find something I love about everybody. I have to find something – even if it's one thing. It might be like they have a nice laugh or I like how they speak to people, they're polite. I mean, it might be something random.

'But find something you love about that person or something you love about them as the character and then kind of lean into that.'

The Oscar-nominee, who is married to US actor John Krasinski, added: 'I have had chemistry with people; I have not had a good time working with them...

'Chemistry is this strange thing. It's an ethereal thing that you can't really bottle up and buy or sell. It's there or it's not. And you can manufacture it.

'I've been doing this long enough. I could have chemistry with this water bottle at this point. You know how to conjure it. But it's just easier when you have a natural rapport with someone.'

But Ms Blunt reassured listeners that her connection with Gosling, who plays her love interest in new action movie The Fall Guy, was genuine.

She added: 'I love his wife, Eva. I love their children, and I feel like I'm very lucky to be friends with a gem of a person like him.'

Sharon Stone reveals the identity of the producer who pressured her to have sex with a co-star

Sharon Stone revealed the identity of the producer who pressured her to have sex with a co-star for the first time - as well as the actor she was pushed to get intimate with in order to improve their on-screen chemistry.

The actress, 66, previously discussed the situation in her 2021 memoir - without disclosing identities - but has now divulged that the producer was Robert Evans, the actor was Alec Baldwin 's brother Billy, and the film was Sliver in 1993.

Evans, who died in 2019, was also a producer on Chinatown and The Cotton Club, and headed production at Paramount for The Godfather, The Italian Job, True Grit and The Great Gatsby.

Sliver was Sharon's next movie after achieving huge success and megastardom in the previous year's hit Basic Instinct.

Speaking on Louis Theroux's podcast , she said: 'They expected me to bring home another giant smash hit and they gave me casting approval and they gave me all these approvals, but then when it came time for me to do it they told me it was a vanity deal and I couldn't have my approvals.

'Then they started to try to blame me for their mistakes, and they made terrible mistakes in the way that they hired directors and cast.'

She said former actor turned producer Evans summoned her from filming to his office to make the request for her to sleep with leading man William Baldwin - one of four acting brothers, and more widely known as Billy - off set.

She said: 'He called me to his office. He had these very low seventies, eighties couches, so I'm essentially sitting on the floor, when I should have been on set.

'And he's running around his office in sunglasses explaining to me that he slept with Ava Gardner and I should sleep with Billy Baldwin, because if I slept with Billy Baldwin, Billy Baldwin's performance would get better.

'And we needed Billy to get better in the movie because that was the problem.

'And if I could sleep with Billy then we'd have chemistry on screen, and if I would just have sex with him then that would save the movie, and the real problem with the movie was me because I was so uptight, and so not like a real actress who could just f**k him and get things back on track. The real problem was I was such a tight a**e.'

Sharon said on hearing his demand she just thought how he hadn't listened to the list of actors that she had suggested for Baldwin's part of Zeke Hawkins, and was frustrated that the film's bosses expected her to go from co-starring with Michael Douglas in Basic Instinct to Baldwin.

She added: 'I didn't have to f**k Michael Douglas. Michael could come to work and know how to hit those marks, and do that line, and rehearse and show up. Now all of a sudden I'm in the 'I have to f**k people' business.'

Rebel Wilson speaks on Sacha Baron Cohen's 'inappropriate on set behaviour'

Rebel Wilson made several claims against her former Grimsby co-star Sacha Baron Cohen, 52, accusing him of inappropriate on set behaviour. 

A week after the claims surfaced, Isla Fisher announced she and Cohen had split last year after 14 years of marriage.

Wilson first opened up about her difficult experience with the British actor in her new memoir Rebel Rising, which has finally been released in Australia and New Zealand with the allegations about Sascha - which he strongly denies - redacted.

The memoir was published in other countries like the US and UK last month.

The blacked out chapter was titled 'Sacha Baron Cohen and Other A**holes' and described the allegedly inappropriate manner Cohen behaved towards her on the set of the 2016 comedy movie Grimsby.

Wilson played Cohen's on-screen girlfriend in the 2016 Louis Leterrier-directed film. 

Cohen's legal team has deemed the decision by publishers HarperCollins a vindication, following the creator's strong denial of Wilson's claims.

After a redacted edition was finally published, publisher HarperCollins confirmed to MailOnline that details had been removed.

The Bridesmaids star said her aim was not to cancel Cohen with her recollections in the memoir, but to retell an experience which made her feel 'completely disrespected, which led to me treating myself with even more disrespect by eating in an extremely unhealthy way'.

In the book, Wilson says she 'rues the day' she met Cohen, who she had described as her 'idol'.

She describes how they first met at a dinner party hosted by Little Britain star Matt Lucas, and a year later he offered her a role in Grimsby, which was released in North America as The Brothers Grimsby.

She played Dawn, the wife of Cohen's character Nobby, a football fan who gets drawn into the world of his secret agent brother.

Last month, she first named Sacha as the celebrity responsible for making threats over the book after which his representatives hit back.

Taking to Instagram to confirm the identity, Wilson wrote: 'I will not be silenced by high priced lawyers or PR crisis managers. The a****** I am talking about in ONE CHAPTER of my book is: Sacha Baron Cohen.'

Meryl Streep speaking out on Dustin Hoffman slap

Meryl Streep said Dustin Hoffman 'overstepped' the mark when he slapped her face on the set of the divorce drama Kramer vs Kramer.

Referring to the 1979 scene with Hoffman, Streep told The New York Times in 2018: 'This is tricky because when you're an actor, you're in a scene, you have to feel free. I'm sure that I have inadvertently hurt people in physical scenes.

'But there's a certain amount of forgiveness in that... But he just slapped me. And you see it in the movie. It was overstepping.'

Hoffman has previously said he was getting a divorce while shooting the film.

'I'm sure I was acting out on her [Streep] throughout the movie,' he told the Huffington Post. 'Stuff that I was feeling toward the wife that I was divorcing in real life.'

The Quiet On Set documentary's allegations against Nickelodeon show creator Dan Schneider

The Quiet On Set documentary has levied several allegations against dialogue coach Brian Peck and Nickelodeon show creator Dan Schneider leaving the television industry shaken.

The series unearthed disturbing claims regarding toxic workplace environments and inappropriate behaviour on popular Nickelodeon shows created and produced by Dan Schneider.

Brian Peck, who worked as a dialogue coach on Schneider's shows such as All That and The Amanda Show was sentenced to 16 months for child abuse in 2004.

For the first time ever, it has emerged that the John Doe involved in the case was child actor Drake Bell, who featured on the hit show Drake & Josh.

The directors of the bombshell documentary revealed they began to dig deeper into the man who created hit shows such as iCarly, The Amanda Show, Victorious, All That and Sam and Cat after disturbing videos began emerging online.

Director Mary Robertson said her curiosity was sparked after seeing compilation clips online that showed pop-star Ariana Grande - who featured on multiple Dan Schneider shows - pouring water on herself in a sexually suggestive manner.

She told Variety: 'We also saw in those clips, girls appearing on Dan’s shows would receive a squirt of a viscous liquid on their face.

'There were a lot of questions that were circulating online certainly around the conditions under which these videos were made.'

Following this, Mary and her co-director Emma Schwartz came across Business Insider's article about Schneider's prominent influence at Nickelodeon, detailing the experiences of 12 anonymous sources from behind the scenes.

After partnering with Business Insider journalist Kate Taylor, the directors dug further into the issue unearthing sources who had never spoken out before.

They said how there was a much 'bigger story' to be uncovered about the environment perpetuated on the set of children's television shows.

Emma added: 'Many people, even people who didn’t want to speak publicly would say, “I’m really glad you’re doing this. I think this deserves attention.'

Rebecca Ferguson reveals she refused to work with a former film co-star

Dune star Rebecca Ferguson has revealed that a former film co-star 'screamed' at her and left her walking off set crying.

The Swedish actress, 40, opened up about life on set as a younger star when she appeared on Tuesday's episode of the Reign with Josh Smith podcast.

During the podcast, Rebecca revealed that there is one 'absolute idiot of a co-star' she will never work with again after how they treated her on the set of a previous film - but confirmed it was not Hugh Jackman or Tom Cruise , who she acted alongside in The Greatest Showman and Mission Impossible.

'I remember there was a moment and this human being was being so insecure and angry because this person couldn't get the scenes out,' she said. 'And I think I was so vulnerable and uncomfortable that I got screamed at.

'But because this person was number one on a call sheet, there was no safety net for me. So no one had my back. And I would cry walking off set.'

Rebecca recalled that the co-star would say things to her on set like 'You call yourself an actor?', 'This is what I have to work with?', and 'What the f**k is this?,' in front of the whole crew.

'I stood there just breaking,' she said.

Rebecca hoped she would have the support of producers in that situation but said she did not.

However after being subjected to the co-star's temper, Rebecca claimed she walked in the next day and spoke up for the first time. 'You get off my set,' she told the co-star.

'I remember being so scared,' she said. 'I looked at this person and I said, 'You can F off. I'm gonna work towards a tennis ball. I never want to see you again.''

Rebecca confirmed the co-star in question was not Hugh Jackman, who she acted alongside in The Greatest Showman (pictured)

She also assured fans the 'screaming' performer was not her Mission Impossible co-star Tom Cruise (pictured together in Mission Impossible - Dead Reckoning)

Rebecca claimed producers told her she could not do that to the actor in question, referred to as 'number one', because they had to be on set.

But the actress stood her ground and said instead the co-star could turn around and she would act to the back of their head. 'And I did,' she aid. 'And I remember thinking that time, I was so scared.'

Rebecca said she then went to the director after the scene demanding to know why that behaviour was allowed to continue.

She added: 'The director said, 'You're right. I am not taking care of everyone else. I'm trying to fluff this person. Because it's so unstable.'

'It was great from that moment, but it took so long for me to get to that. It's within my last 10 or 12 years and I've acted since I was 16.'

During the episode, Rebecca also spoke about the valuable lessons she has learned from working with Timothée Chalamet on Dune: Part One and Dune: Part Two.

'I'm just having fun and I'm doing a plethora of different things, you know,' she said.

'He's carrying things. I remember the moments where I would giggle and have fun and I could sense that it wasn't really helping him. So I think I learned a lot from looking at the process of one of our incredible independent actors on the set of a studio movie.'

She added: 'The respect that you need to hold for everyone… I've learned more from him without him knowing it.'
