She didn’t want to kiss this actor
There are a lot of stars that won’t kiss each other because they have other responsibilities or because they are unwell! In this case, it was the latter that applied to Thandie Newton. The actress featured with Gerard Butler in RocknRolla during production. It wasn’t the love scene itself that bothered Newton; rather, it was the health of her co-star.

Butler showed up sick as a dog the day before the love scene. In spite of her enthusiasm for her profession, Thandie begged that filmmaker Guy Ritchie come up with a clever workaround so she wouldn’t have to become sick for it! It doesn’t even matter if Butler has a great physique, or that he’s got sex appeal to spare! Thandie told the reporters that Gerry was “very ill” at the time. Because of this, I would not have sex with him. Guy had to think on his feet. That was one of the most outstanding passages. I don’t know how he dealt with such issues. As it turns out, incredible things can be achieved with a little bit of improvisation!
