Puerto Rican superstar rapper, Bad Bunny, has shared his experience of his first onscreen kiss.
The rapper, who was featured in TIME’s first-ever Spanish-language cover story, recounted his experience of sharing a kiss with a co-star in the film “Cassandro”.
29-year-old Bad Bunny, who played Gael García Bernal’s love interest in the film, expressed, “My first kiss for a movie and it was with a man. That’s the penalty I get for being with so many women during my life.”
He also emphasized that he approached it as no more than a job which he takes seriously. He added, “If you’re acting, you’re being someone you’re not. So when they asked me for that, I said, ‘Yes, I’m here for whatever you want.’ I think it was very cool; I didn’t feel uncomfortable.”
The film premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in January, although a release date has not been set. This is not the first time the Puerto Rican star has kissed a man, as he is known for challenging toxic masculinity. In August, he kissed his male backup dancer during a performance at Yankee Stadium for the MTV Video Music Awards.
