The two told The New York Times in a story dispersed Monday that it took a shocking number of takes to get the kiss.

“One kiss,” Roberts said. “Likewise, we did it for, like, a half year.”

“Presumably,” Clooney added, “I told my life partner, ‘It took 80 takes.’ She was like, ‘What in bursts?’”

“It took 79 takes of us snickering and a short time later the one take of us kissing,” Roberts inspected.

“Without a doubt, we expected to get the job done perfectly,” Clooney got a handle on.

George Clooney and Julia Roberts, envisioned in 2016, anticipated that modest bunches and many takes should nail a kissing scene in their new film “Pass to Paradise.”

Clooney and Roberts appeared together in “Ocean’s Eleven” (2001), “Confirmations of a Dangerous Mind” (2002), “Ocean’s Twelve” (2004) and “Money Monster” (2016), yet “Pass to Paradise” means their most critical happy satire together. While the two played exes in the “Ocean’s” heist-spoof companies, their relationship was not the focus.

In the looming film, the two play serious exes who intend to stop the marriage of their daughter to a kelp farmer. It’s normal out Oct. 21.

Roberts joked before about suspicions for the film.

“I accept it’s so entertaining and George is so engaging and George and I together, it’s probably going to be horrendous considering the way that there’s an overabundance of potential for it to be awesome, it’ll essentially fall on it itself,” Roberts told Variety in May.

“I feel that should be the business for the film: ‘It’s probably going to be terrible.’ I’m so blissful my marketing master is on a plane right now.”
