Gina Gershon Recalls Filming Love Scene with Tom Cruise

Gina Gershon recently recounted her experience filming her first love scene with Tom Cruise in the 1988 film 'Cocktail,' noting that Cruise's first wife, Mimi Rogers, was present on set during filming. Gershon described Cruise as a 'gentleman' who was protective and attentive to her. However, she humorously recalled an incident where she accidentally kneed him in the nose while filming, fearing she had broken his nose, but Cruise took responsibility for the mishap. Despite Rogers' presence, Gershon shared that they managed to kiss as much as possible during their scenes.

The actress was also coy about questions concerning any off-screen romance with Cruise, emphasizing the professionalism maintained on set.
