Tina Fey and Steve Carell: The 5 Minute Kiss
"It was like a tongueless turtle mouth."
For their new comedy Date Night, Steve Carell and Tina Fey share a kiss that lasts the entire opening credits. "It was the world's longest closed-mouth kiss," said Fey.
The new flick stars Fey and Carell as a suburban couple with an unhappy marriage. Then, one evening when they decide to reignite their usually droll date night, the pair heads to a fancy NYC restaurant only to find themselves in the middle of a mob plot.
But what has the pair gabbing in the latest issue of Entertainment Weekly is a lengthy, laughable kiss they share over the credit sequence.
"It was fun," said Carell. "The hardest part was not laughing, frankly....To go for it for, like, five minutes - it was a long time."
"I want to state for my husband's sake that it was a comedy idea, not an erotic idea," said Fey. "I did pitch: Wouldn't it be funny if the kiss was as long as the credit sequence? It was fun because we're both so polite and not only are we both married, but we know each other's spouses. It was the world's longest closed-mouth kiss. It was like a tongueless turtle mouth."
Date Night opens in theaters everywhere April 9th.
