GUBLER'S FIRST SCREEN KISS
This episode, which you will
also come to know as the
Spencer Reid kiss,
it was Matthew's first screen kiss
and he was exceptionaly nervous.
Uh, far more nervous than the girl was.
I've never... kissed...
a girl...
in a movie.
So yeah, no, it's pretty
it's pretty nerve-wracking.
I'm gonna be in the pool with a, uh
girl who is pretty easy on the eyes.
Last night i was in the bathtub
and i looked at the prelim and there's literally
like two scenes for the entire day.
And it's Reid and
Lyla in the swimming pool, kissing
which means
there's gonna be a lot of time.
We're gonna be shooting that a lot.
I might get chapped lips.
I'd better wear chapsticks
'cuz I think there's gonna be a lot of smooching.
Pretty good? Pretty alright?
Do I have like dead skin hanging out?
I counted each one of the... the kisses
and there's like six or seven.
And I got a lot of advice
from everybody: from Mandy, from
Shemar, from Lola...
And they told me a lot of
everything told me, everyone told me exactly
different things...
And that's not helping out at all
Mandy's like:
"Matthew, just let it happen...
let it happen."
Shemar's like:
"Slip her the tongue."
Lola said that on no circumstance
do you french kiss the girl.
And I wasn't going to, and be like "Hey, what's up?" // And it's not like I was going to, it’s not like I was going to be like "Hey, what’s up?"
I've been, uh, doing this...
every night in the bathtub.
And then I kind of think about it and I go...
soft. No, I don't... I don't... nothing.
I don't know, I've just memorized my lines
and I'm a little bit worried 'cuz the other thing I realized is,
as far as your breath goes,
you don't want it to be too fresh, 'cuz if you
if it's too fresh, she's like: "What's that guy hiding?"
It's kind of creepy, you know?
It's like a little bit too much cologne.
'Cuz I kind of know this girl prior to this job,
so it makes it all even more stressful.
I hope she doesn't think that like
I recommended her just so I could make out with her.
'Cuz, really, I did recommend her, but it was more like
they wanted someone that looked like Grace Kelly
and I was like: "I know a girl who looks like her".
And I've given the name and...
she happened to be the best.
But now everyone is joking around like "Oh,
you just want to make out with her" and
she was the best for the part, you know, but now it's...
I just feel like a scumbag.
- Hello, Amber. How are you doing today? - Good.
- I like your shirt. - Thank you.
(whispering)
Scary, right? Intimidating, right? Wow!
Pretty scary, right? Kind of beautiful, you know what I'm saying?
Did she hear me say that? She did, didn't she?
That was loud. Yikes!
Not cool, Gubler... Not cool!
I'm a little nervous, I'm a little nervous. I'm not going to lie.
You've probably smooched a lot of people on screen.
I've never smooched in life or on screen, so...
Today is the first day that it all happens.
- It's your first kiss? - I've been taking lessons.
- From who? - From you.
Remember that pillow you made him?
The pillow with your face on, yeah.
Check his arm (...)
I've been doing... I... I've been... - Oh yeah.
I'm pretty freaked out, man... I'm not gonna lie, right? A little bit awkward?
And action!
I've heard... I've heard rumors that my voice
dipped seventeen auctives when I went into the pool.
I think that was sheer terror coming out,
manifesting itself. It was terrifying, man!
Beautiful girl in a pool and I have to... pull in and
When we kissed, you know, is there a tongue involved?
I don't know, you know, is there? I... Who knows?
In real life I don't even know, how am I supposed to know on TV, you know?
It was really cute because the first time we dit it
he completely forgot his lines and apologized aftewards and said
"I forgot everything I was supposed to say for obvious reasons."
'Cuz the girl kept kissing his neck and she would kiss him
and he completely forgot everything that he was supposed to say.
(...) What do I say? - No, there's a thing...
No, oh, yeah, yeah, wait! But then I kiss her a little bit, right?
- That's the one when we go. - Yes.
So she goes "Such a big deal" and then Reid grabs her. (...) - Yes, please.
After that scene, I became a man!
