Oppenheimer star Matt Damon recently shared an amusing and awkward on-set experience involving a kissing scene with co-star Scarlett Johansson. During a game of 'Agree to Disagree' for LADBible, Damon recalled the moment and humorously described the challenges of the unexpected situation.

In a candid conversation with Emily Blunt, Damon discussed the importance of being honest about someone's breath if it smells. This led him to share an amusing incident that occurred while filming a kissing scene with Scarlett Johansson.

Damon recounted the story, saying, "For me, it's less about the co-star you're kissing, as you're likely to be friends with them anyway. However, I had to kiss Scarlett Johansson – can you imagine how horrible that was for me? It was hell!" He playfully quipped about the experience, setting the tone for the humorous tale.

The actor then elaborated on the awkward moment, explaining that they had filmed a shot before lunch, which included a sweet kiss between the two characters. However, the situation took an unexpected turn when Johansson decided to have an onion sandwich during their break.

Damon continued with a laugh, "During lunch, as we prepared for another shot, she and I both thought the kissing scene was over. But then, when we resumed filming, the camera was set up for a tight shot of the kiss. That's when Scarlett exclaimed, 'Ah, shit! I literally just had an onion sandwich!'"

The lighthearted incident added some comedic charm to the filming process. Damon playfully admitted that he teased Johansson about her onion breath throughout the remainder of the scene, though he jokingly mentioned he couldn't actually smell it. In jest, he praised her by saying her breath smelled like roses.
