#20: Robe Lowe and Jewel
This story started promisingly before taking a turn. During the casting of The Lyon’s Den, Rob Lowe specifically requested that Jewel be cast as his character’s love interest. However, when it came time to film their kissing scene, Jewel suddenly expressed hesitation and even asked if they could skip the kiss altogether.
Despite her initial reluctance, she ultimately agreed to go through with the scene, and they shared an on-screen kiss. The situation reportedly took a toll on Lowe’s ego, and he later recounted the experience on The Ellen DeGeneres Show. In a playful attempt to boost his spirits, Ellen kissed Lowe on the show.
