While talking with Andy Cohen on Watch What Happens Live, Elizabeth admitted that Tom has the best on-screen kiss she’s ever had.

“He lays one on me about halfway through the movie,” she recalled. “I had such a crush on him at the time.”

Elizabeth added that while the kiss was great, Tom was “off limits”.

“He was with (future wife) Rita Wilson already. They were dating, but hadn’t gotten married yet. He was just completely off limits,” she says.

Elizabeth also shared that the movie could’ve been a whole lot different, too, as Robert De Niro was originally slated for Tom‘s role.

“It fell apart because he had a scheduling conflict, and then they went to Tom Hanks. It’s like a totally different movie in my brain with Robert De Niro,” she shared.

That movie was more “moody” and “more of a — a little more of a horror movie. Robert De Niro wandering around the streets of New York. What Tom Hanks brought to it was so much lighter.”
