The actress who refused to kiss him during their on-screen romance
It seems that singer Jewel didn’t fall in love with Rob Lowe, even though the actor is a favorite of many women. The two were cast as one other’s love interests in the television program The Lyon’s Den. Lowe was the one who put Jewel’s name in the hat for the role of his opposite, but when the singer arrived on set, she was completely uninterested in kissing him! When they were shooting a love scene, Jewel would bring her boyfriend along with her. Jewel initially resisted, but eventually consented. What exactly is the issue? Well, it was a total and utter failure!

“[The play was] a litany of indignities, and the final blow for me was having the actress who didn’t want to kiss me in the love scene,” Rob Lowe said on Ellen DeGeneres. On Comedy Central’s Roast of Rob Lowe, Jewel remarked, “I didn’t know where his mouth had gone.” We think the tale came full circle. There’s always a kernel of truth in a joke, after all!
