Mandy Moore’s Love Scenes With Trent Ford Were ‘Awkward’

When it came time to shoot Mandy Moore’s love scenes in ‘How to Deal’ with co-star Trent Ford, they were as awkward as all actors will tell you their love scenes are. “Trent’s a pretty confident guy. I’m a pretty shy modest girl in many ways, so it’s always awkward doing a scene,” Moore told ComingSoon.net. “Especially because at that point in time you’ve become friends and you’re friends with everyone on the crew. It’s just an awkward time for everyone because the crew guys don’t just want to watch you seeing what you’re doing and the director doesn’t want to have to give you direction like, ‘Um, don’t kiss for that long’ or ‘Are you adding tongue?’ There’s just so many weird elements that go into being romantic on screen and it’s so choreographed too. People don’t realize it’s like my cheek has to be in this position, his head has to be tilting this way, we have to linger couple inches apart before we actually kiss so any sort of romance is long out of the way before you actually get to do it.” Read more.
