Abigail Breslin's First Ever On-Screen Kiss
She's all grown up and already getting her first ever on-screen kiss but what's this about Breslin not being happy about it?
From playing the cute adventurous girl on Nim's Island to kicking zombie ass on Zombieland, Little Miss Sunshine's Breslin is all made-up romancing teenage boys and flashing her bra in her newest film New Year's Eve. Her very first kiss onscreen was with actor Jake Austin, known best for his role as Selena Gomez's younger brother in the Disney original television series - Wizards of Waverly Place.
"It was very professional. There were a lot of breath mints on set," says the actress in an interview by The Hollywood Reporter. Director Gary Marshall jokes that the film even exceeded the budget for the breath mints alone.
However, the Oscar-nominated actress reveals she was a bit disappointed not having been able to smooch her crush, Zac Efron, instead. Efron on the other hand shared a smooch with actress Michelle Pfeiffer of whom the actor too admits he had a crush on even during their Hairspray days. During the press conference, Zac Efron was quite open about his feelings and candidly flirted with Pfeiffer of which the actress played along with. The complete story can be read here.
Breslin may be 15 but she certainly doesn't look like it. During the premiere night of the film at New York, New Year's Eve, Breslin stunned onlookers and the paparazzi with a glittering black dress paired with beige colored high heels. Breslin wowed the crowd along with co-film stars Jessica Biel, Carla Gugino, Sarah Jessica Parker (also her onscreen mother) and Michelle Pfeiffer. The film also stars newly divorced Ashton Kutcher and Glee's Leah Michelle.
Apart from the kiss, Breslin enjoyed filming New Year's Eve because of her onscreen mother, Sarah Jessica Parker.
"We mostly talked about American Idol," says Breslin. "We kind of ended up going in and talking about that every day at work."
True enough Abigail Breslin has grown up and apart from already having filmed her first on screen kiss, Breslin is sure to make more waves in the film industry.
