Naturally, the pair found it pretty strange going from playing siblings to lovers, with Sophie telling Seth Meyers<\/a> this summer that she and Kit were both \u201cretching\u201d<\/a> after shooting their first kissing scene.\"Sophie<\/p>\n

\u201cWe get on set and it\u2019s the first kissing scene and we are both retching,\u201d she said. \u201cLike, really, it is vile. It was the worst. Another really bad moment in my career.\u201d\"SophieNow, Kit has opened up further about what it was like kissing Sophie in the new project.\"Kit<\/p>\n

Speaking with E! News<\/a> this week, Kit admitted that while his and Sophie\u2019s sibling-like bond made kissing scenes \u201cweird\u201d enough, things were extra awkward because of their height difference. Sophie is reportedly 5\u20199\u201d, and while a Google search lists Kit\u2019s height as 5\u20198\u201d, this has never been confirmed<\/a>. Here’s a pic of them side-by-side:\"Sophie<\/p>\n

Revealing that he had to stand on a literal box in order to kiss Sophie, Kit recalled, \u201cIt was slightly embarrassing, having to get on an apple box to kiss her because she’s about a foot taller than me. But other than that, my dignity was pretty intact.\u201d\"Kit<\/p>\n

Kit also echoed Sophie\u2019s comments about how awkward it was going from playing siblings to lovers. \u201cShe was one that sent that movie to me and somehow didn’t see what I saw in it. I was like, \u2018These guys, these are lovers, right?\u2019 I felt very odd about that.\u201d\"Sophie<\/p>\n

However, Kit maintained that he and Sophie had a great time shooting the film. \u201cIt was a good chance to be with her again and work together. What was lovely is that we got on set together and our friendship completely ignited again. It felt like being with family. It really did,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
