Star kissing like cardboard

Michelle Trachtenberg finds locking lips with Hollywood hunks just like smooching cardboard.

The 24-year-old has kissed a host of the industry’s hottest stars as part of her job, including Zac Efron and Penn Badgley.

Although most people think getting hot and heavy with sexy actors would be one of the biggest perks of the job, Michelle insists she hates it.

She finds it embarrassing and wholly unappealing, explaining it’s tough to make it look realistic in front of other people.

"Kissing scenes for me are just like kissing cardboard," she is quoted as saying.
"There are so many dudes around you it's so unsexy. It's like, 'Right, just stick your tongue in my mouth again.'"

Getting the smooch right isn’t the only problem. Michelle admits some of her co-stars have got too into the scene, causing her to take drastic action to calm them down.

"There's actually not supposed to be any tongue in movie kissing - it's just the lip smacking. You're not supposed to get all tonguey on me. I just wear really high heels and step on their feet, like 'Dude, back it up,'" she laughed.
