Dakota Fanning Was Really Not Into Her First On-Screen Kiss on 'Sweet Home Alabama'

If it’s one movie that you absolutely remember Dakota Fanning in when she was young, it’s not I Am Sam or Uptown Girls — it’s Sweet Home Alabama.

The now 23-year-old actress chatted with W magazine about the mini-role she had as a young Reese Witherspoon and all about her first kiss ever for the movie — she was only 7!

“My studio teacher who was my teacher my whole life before I went to high school, she was with me on that movie and she told this story all the time,” Dakota recalls about one thing that always happened while she was filming on the set.

“In between each take we would do the kiss, right, and then I would slowly turn away and wipe my mouth off,” she revealed. “So he couldn’t see or so no one could see because I was trying to be kind but I wasn’t really into it.”

But he was a cute kid!

“It was very, you know, it was nerve-wracking,” Dakota adds of her first kiss.
