Dave Franco reveals Alison Brie likes to recreate ‘sloppy' and ‘awkward' reality TV kisses with him
The 40-year-old actor - who married the Community star, 42, in 2017 - shared Alison isn't afraid to bring steamy smooches she's seen on the box into their relationship, even if it ends with unfavourable results.
Speaking with People, Alison said: 'You know what traumatizes Dave in terms of making out? Is that sometimes if we're watching a reality show like The Bachelor or Love Island …'
Dave quickly added: '… And there's these first kisses that are sometimes a little sloppy or a little awkward. She always wants to recreate them on me.'
Dave and Alison will next be seen on the silver screen together in the upcoming horror movie Together.
In the film, a couple's move to the countryside takes a terrifying turn when a supernatural presence begins to alter their love, their lives, and even their bodies.
Dave teased Together 'goes full bonkers, body horror mania'.
He told Collider: 'We've got a codependent couple, not unlike ourselves. They're going through some issues.
'They moved to the middle of nowhere to try to just kind of have a new start, but they encounter something supernatural that just kind of brings all the issues right to the surface.'
The Now You See Me star said the intimacy in Together 'goes to such an extreme level' that he didn't think he could have made the movie with anyone other than his wife.
He said: 'It goes to such an extreme point where we truly looked at each other at the end of each day, and we were like, 'We could not have made this movie with anyone else.''
Alison - who has worked with Dave on movies like 2023's Somebody I Used to Know - said the couple's 'shorthand has gotten shorter and shorter' in their professional relationship.
She explained: 'I think, to do this project, we have acted in some things together, and by this point, Dave has directed me in a couple of movies, we wrote a film together.
'Our shorthand has gotten shorter and shorter to where it's like a mind-meld, eye-contact thing.
'We've been together over a decade, so has this couple in the movie. We're very selective about projects that we will act in together.
'We read scripts quite often, where we would act together, and it's all about which one makes the most sense, and this one did.'

Billy Joel recalls being given 'ultimatum' by ex-wife
Billy Joel entered rehab in 2005 after being given an "ultimatum" by his then-wife. The 76-year-old star checked into the Betty Ford Center for the treatment of alcohol abuse, after Katie Lee instructed him to either seek help or end their relationship. In the new HBO documentary Billy Joel: And So It Goes, the musician shares: "With the rehab, you don't go for somebody else. You have to go for yourself. You have to want to do it. I didn't want to do it." Katie - who was married to Billy between 2004 and 2009 - noted that Billy struggled with addiction after taking a break from the spotlight. She explained: "I felt like he needed to be creating, he needed to be making music, performing, to turn down that anxiety of not having an artistic outlet. And there were struggles with addiction. It was really hard to navigate that, because I had no experience with it." Katie recalled there being a "fragile time" in their relationship after Billy returned home from rehab. She reflected: "In a lot of ways it was hard to recover from that. "I don't think either of us wanted it to not work out, but it just became obvious that it wasn't working." Meanwhile, Billy recently admitted that he was hesitant about committing to his HBO documentary. The music icon revealed that he was reluctant to reflect on some of the "stupid stuff" he's done in the past. He told People: "I've resisted this kind of thing for so long. I'm sick of talking about myself. Some of the stupid stuff I did, that's painful to talk about. (But) they asked me for some thematic guidance. I said, 'Just tell the truth.'" The chart-topping star initially just wanted to get the documentary "over with" because he doesn't enjoy talking about himself. The Uptown Girl hitmaker said: "My goal was to get it over with. "When I do interviews, people just ask you about yourself and you get a little self-conscious about it eventually. It's almost embarrassing. "When you're talking about your personal life detached from the material ... I suppose there's a little bit of wariness involved."

Logan Lerman loved the Only Murders in the Building set
Logan Lerman found the Only Murders in the Building set to be "oddly fun". The 33-year-old actor joined the cast of the hit TV show for season five, and Logan has revealed that he relished the experience of working with the likes of Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Selena Gomez. Logan told People: "It's an oddly fun set to be on." The actor explained that "sometimes, sets are not that enjoyable". However, he hailed the Only Murders set for being "a really good one". He shared: "It's so great. That's a really fun show to work on. I had a really good time." Despite this, Logan is determined to remain tight-lipped about his on-screen character. He said: "I don't want to ruin anything, but I'm excited for people to see it." Meanwhile, Selena previously admitted that she loves working with Steve and Martin on the show. The 33-year-old actress also praised the show's writers, acknowledging that they are key to the success of Only Murders in the Building. She told Numero: "Sometimes it's just impossible to keep a straight face for me. They are much better at it than me. "I love comedy and I have so much fun on set. And I think it is mainly thanks to the writing and to the scriptwriters." Asked what she's learned from working with Steve and Martin, Selena replied: "I just enjoy their company. Even when I'm on set, sitting, waiting around for something to happen and they're playing a game, I find some comfort in that. I feel very safe and protected around them." Selena feels that she's grown into her on-screen character. The brunette beauty - who has also enjoyed huge success with her music - shared: "I feel like I've been able to gradually become Mabel and to grow with her. She is a part of me now. I'm just enjoying the process." Despite this, Selena actually remains in the dark about the show's murder mysteries until the cameras start rolling. Speaking ahead of season four of the show, she said: "I had no idea about who had done what until the shooting of the film was about to start. So it was a real surprise."

Soundside Music Festival cancelled
Soundside Music Festival has been cancelled. The two-day event – which was set to take place at Seaside Park in Bridgeport, Connecticut on September 27 and 28 with headliners The Killers, Weezer, Hozier and Vampire Weekend – has been axed, according to a brief message on its website. The message states: 'Due to circumstances beyond our control, Soundside Music Festival has been cancelled. Tickets will be refunded to the original method of payment in as little as 30 days depending on your bank's processing time.' No other information was given and there were no details on the reason for cancellation. Djo, Japanese Breakfast, the Backseat Lovers, Remi Wolf, Alex Warren and the Last Dinner Party were also on the line-up. This comes one year after Foo Fighters cancelled their planned performance at the festival in 2024 with only a few days notice, after Dave Grohl revealed he had welcomed a baby outside of his marriage. In a statement posted on Instagram, the band said: "FOO FIGHTERS WILL NO LONGER BE APPEARING AT THIS WEEKEND'S SOUNDSIDE MUSIC FESTIVAL. PLEASE CHECK THE FESTIVAL WEBSITE FOR MORE INFORMATION (sic)" The Foo Fighters didn't cite a specific reason for cancelling their planned appearance at the festival. However, it came just weeks after Dave confirmed that he had fathered a child outside of his marriage. The 56-year-old musician vowed to "regain" the trust of his family after sharing the news via social media. Dave - who has been married to Jordyn Blum since 2003 - wrote on Instagram at the time: "I've recently become the father of a new baby daughter, born outside of my marriage. I plan to be a loving and supportive parent to her. I love my wife and my children, and I am doing everything I can to regain their trust and earn their forgiveness. We're grateful for your consideration toward all the children involved, as we move forward together."
