anne hathawayAnne Hathaway has revealed that a big kiss scene with Steve Carell on the set of new film Get Smart didn’t go quite as she’d planned.

She explained recently: “There was a health scare last year where a certain contact lens solution gave you conjunctivitis.

“I won’t say the name of it, but it was the one that I used, and I had a sinus infection at the same time.

“I had to go up to Steve with my red and puffy eyes, dripping green; I am just snotty and I’m just like, ‘Come here.’

“The worst thing was we didn’t know that I had conjunctivitis at the time so I had to call our producer that night and say, ‘Yeah, you might want to call Steve and let him know I had pinkeye and my tears kind of got in my mouth when we kissed, so he might want to worry about that!’”

But she added that mucus aside, snogging the 40 Year Old Virgin star was an enjoyable experience: “Making out with him is like the yummiest lollipop, dipped in sunshine and wrapped in a masculine wrapper! That’s the only way I can think to describe it.”
