Eva Longoria Parker hates on-screen kisses

Washington, Aug 14 : Actress Eva Longoria Parker has revealed that she hates kissing on screen. The actress revealed that she's been convincing directors that her characters should hug instead of kiss, because she hates smooching with anyone who isn't her husband.

The Desperate Housewives actress has just celebrated her first wedding anniversary with basketball star Tony Parker and she can't get used to the idea she has to lock lips with strange men on the big and small screen.

"I always try to talk my way out of kissing scenes: 'Do they really need to kiss in this part? Can't they just hug?' The directors are like, 'No!'" Contactmusic quoted her, as telling Latina magazine.

And she isn't the only member of the Desperate Housewives cast who shudders at the thought of a kissing scene - her onscreen husband would prefer not to have to kiss her.

She adds, "Ricardo (Chavira) hates kissing me. We are both not really fond of the kissing scenes."
