Dave Franco reveals Alison Brie likes to recreate ‘sloppy’ and ‘awkward’ reality TV kisses with him

David Franco has shared his wife Alison Brie enjoys copying the “sloppy” and “awkward” kisses she spots on reality TV shows with him.

David Franco has revealed his wife Alison Brie likes to recreate “sloppy” and “awkward” kisses she has seen in reality TV shows with him.

The 40-year-old actor – who married the Community star, 42, in 2017 – shared Alison isn’t afraid to bring steamy smooches she’s seen on the box into their relationship, even if it ends with unfavourable results.

Speaking with People, Alison said: “You know what traumatizes Dave in terms of making out? Is that sometimes if we’re watching a reality show like The Bachelor or Love Island …”

Dave quickly added: “… And there’s these first kisses that are sometimes a little sloppy or a little awkward. She always wants to recreate them on me.”

Dave and Alison will next be seen on the silver screen together in the upcoming horror movie Together.

In the film, a couple’s move to the countryside takes a terrifying turn when a supernatural presence begins to alter their love, their lives, and even their bodies.

Dave teased Together “goes full bonkers, body horror mania”.

He told Collider: “We’ve got a codependent couple, not unlike ourselves. They’re going through some issues.

“They moved to the middle of nowhere to try to just kind of have a new start, but they encounter something supernatural that just kind of brings all the issues right to the surface.”

The Now You See Me star said the intimacy in Together “goes to such an extreme level” that he didn’t think he could have made the movie with anyone other than his wife.

He said: “It goes to such an extreme point where we truly looked at each other at the end of each day, and we were like, ‘We could not have made this movie with anyone else.’”

Alison – who has worked with Dave on movies like 2023’s Somebody I Used to Know – said the couple’s “shorthand has gotten shorter and shorter” in their professional relationship.

She explained: “I think, to do this project, we have acted in some things together, and by this point, Dave has directed me in a couple of movies, we wrote a film together.

“Our shorthand has gotten shorter and shorter to where it’s like a mind-meld, eye-contact thing.

“We’ve been together over a decade, so has this couple in the movie. We’re very selective about projects that we will act in together.

“We read scripts quite often, where we would act together, and it’s all about which one makes the most sense, and this one did.”
