And then I have to go really make out with the guy in front of her. I kiss my girlfriend, I have to push push her away. We can cast your girlfriend if you want….So the day comes, and I’m kind of dreading it but I’m like my girlfriend will be there so that’s cool. (at this point O’Neal moves away from Martin) Ang, the director said, listen, in that scene you have to kiss a girl first, and then you push her away, and then you kiss the guy. Martin: There’s a scene in the movie where I have to kiss a guy, where I have to make out with this guy. As Martin tells it on The Tonight Show, filming the scene was an awkward experience, partly because his girlfriend had a role in it.
After jokingly caressing Martin, fellow guest Shaquille O’Neal pretends to be repulsed by Martin as he talks about filming a scene where where he kisses another guy. Martin’s Tonight Show appearance has become a topic of discussion for gays after Andy Towle called out the gay panic humor in the segment (and we mentioned in the briefs yesterday). Friday night he appeared on The Tonight Show, but based on web searches, it appears the only other time he has discussed the movie and his gay role at length was in an interview with us from February. So far, we haven’t seen Demetri Martin do a lot of promotion for his upcoming movie Taking Woodstock.
