Kevin McHale & Jenna Ushkowitz Talk 'Glee' Kisses, Reveal Best & Most 'Aggressive' Filmed Lip Locks

Kevin McHale and Jenna Ushkowitz spilled the tea on kissing their Glee co-stars during a recent episode of their And That’s What You Really Missed podcast.

The former castmates and friends, who played Artie Abrams and Tina Cohen-Chang on the hit series, opened up about the topic during a Q&A where they answered questions submitted by fans.

They touched on the group’s habit of playing “gender blind” spin the bottle before revealing their “best” on-screen kisses. Jenna also recalled a filmed kiss that was “aggressive.”

“At some point everybody kissed everybody. Not that night, but we played spin the bottle so many times that I think,” Kevin said when asked about a round of the kissing game that they played on his birthday one year. “It wasn’t like we were all making out with each other. It was a simple kiss. If you can’t kiss your friends, you know?”

He was also the first to answer the question about his best kiss on the show: “Artie and Tina kissed a lot, so I’ll say you,” he told Jenna, who agreed.

“I don’t think I kissed a lot of other people to say that. I kissed Harry [Shum Jr.] a bunch,” she added.

Jenna also recalled an “aggressive” kiss with Chord Overstreet. “Tina and Sam made out, and they shot a closeup of our lips and tongues and we really did have to ksis because of this,” she explained. “It was aggressive, I will say. Not Chord, but the whole experience.”

That doesn’t mean it was all bad, of course. “It was very funny to do, but I got sucked in my those lips. Those trouty lips,” Jenna joked.

Kevin explained that it is different to kiss someone on camera. “Kissing people on camera is not… You’re not paying attention to if someone is really good,” he said.

Elsewhere in the Q&A, Jenna said that she was “absolutely” offended by some of the jokes on the show. They also listed the show’s breakout hit “Don’t Stop Believing” as the song that they do not want to listen to anymore.

“We hear it all the time, and when we hear it we run,” Jenna admitted.

In recent weeks, the pair revealed how a rowdy day drinking on set inspired an episode of the show and the song that the entire cast told creator Ryan Murphy they did not want to perform.

Another former Glee star opened up about how their on-screen relationship with Lea Michele “wasn’t great for the ego.”
