Any Spider-Man fan will tell how iconic the upside down kissing scene from the first Spider-Man film is. But ask actor Kirsten Dunst, who played Mary Jane, about it and she will tell a different story. The actor recently made an appearance on The Jonathan Ross Show, where she said that filming the scene was actually quite ‘miserable’.
During the conversation on the show, when the host brought about how iconic the scene is from the film, Kirsten shared, “I remember [the director] Sam Raimi giving me a book of famous kisses to be inspired but also, he really wanted to make it special even though it was kind of miserable actually doing it.”
She continued to add how Tobey was having problems breathing during the scene because he was upside down. “It was pouring with rain, freezing, Tobey couldn’t breathe so it was almost like I was resuscitating him,” she said.
