Who's the Best Kisser — George Clooney, Matthew McConaughey, Ralph Fiennes, Richard Gere, Owen Wilson, or Brett Goldstein? A Famous Co-Star Weighs In

A rom-com veteran revealed her top on-screen kisser, narrowing it down from six Hollywood heartthrobs and unexpectedly naming a relatively newer co-star from a Netflix film.

Jennifer Lopez appeared on "Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen" during an episode in October 2025, where she took part in the show's always-entertaining "Plead The Fifth" game.

During the fan-favorite round, host Andy Cohen pressed the star to name her favorite on-screen kiss. He rattled off a list of high-profile former co-stars, including George Clooney, Matthew McConaughey, Ralph Fiennes, Richard Gere, Owen Wilson, and Josh Lucas.

Lopez and Clooney's Sizzling Screen Pairing Still Stands Out

Among the most iconic pairings in Lopez's romantic comedy career is her turn with George Clooney in Steven Soderbergh's "Out of Sight," released in 1998.

The film remains a standout in her early body of work, with publicity photos capturing the undeniable chemistry between the two.

Box Office Gold with Matthew McConaughey

Lopez returned to the rom-com genre in 2001 with "The Wedding Planner," starring opposite Matthew McConaughey.

The film was a box office success and helped cement her reputation as one of the genre's most beloved leading ladies.

A Working-Class Romance with Ralph Fiennes

In "Maid in Manhattan," which hit theaters in 2002, Lopez played a hotel maid opposite Ralph Fiennes, who portrayed a high-profile politician.

The film told the story of an unexpected romance across social classes and became another hit for the actress.

Ballroom Elegance with Richard Gere

In 2004, Lopez starred alongside Richard Gere in the romantic dance drama "Shall We Dance?" also featuring Susan Sarandon.

Promotional materials from the film showcased the stars mid-step in glamorous ballroom sequences.

Romance with Wilson

Lopez was paired with Owen Wilson in 2022's "Marry Me," a romantic comedy about a global pop star who impulsively marries a stranger from the crowd during a live concert.

Lopez Makes Her Pick Without Hesitation

As Cohen ran through the list of well-known names, Lopez paused before offering her answer. "I'm going to say my favorite — Is it rom-com you said, or it doesn't matter?" she asked.

When Cohen told her it didn't matter, she gave a response no one saw coming. "I just did a movie with Brett Goldstein, and I would say he was the best kisser," she said.

Lopez was referring to the Netflix romantic comedy "Office Romance," which she announced via Instagram on March 7, 2025. The film, which also stars "Ted Lasso" actor Brett Goldstein, was shot in Hoboken, New Jersey, just across the river from her native Bronx.

Goldstein Jokes About Paparazzi-Filled Filming Days

In a USA Today interview published on September 26, 2025, Goldstein reflected on the shoot and joked about the chaos that came with filming near Lopez's hometown. "A nightmare," he said.

"The shoot was a dream," he explained. "The two days we filmed outside were, forget it, just because of paparazzi everywhere. It was a nightmare. I thought, 'If [Lopez and I] make another film together, I'm going to keep all the scenes indoors.'"

Despite starring opposite some of Hollywood's most legendary actors, Lopez's pick for best on-screen kiss wasn't one of her longtime collaborators, but one of her latest.
