Some celebrities start their careers as child stars, causing them to experience a lot of normal human experiences on-screen. According to Insider, Hailee Steinfeld began her acting career at 8 years old after seeing a family member in a commercial. The star then begged her parents to put her in acting classes so she could one day be on camera. Well, before Steinfeld got her big break, she participated in student-created films. Steinfeld can never forget this because it was in one of those films where she got her first kiss!

Steinfeld spilled all the deets about the awkward first kiss to W Magazine in March 2017. The star had been working on “a student thesis graduate film,” and for one of the scenes, they wanted the then-12-year-old to kiss not one but two other boys — which the “Pitch Perfect” star described it as “a lot” for her.

Steinfeld’s nerves only increased when they placed one of the boys on an “apple box” because he was much shorter than her. As if things couldn’t get worse, one of the boys made the whole situation even more uncomfortable by saying, “I’m just going to pretend I’m kissing my mom.” The star shrugged it off and said that she just pretended as though she was kissing her dog. Again, probably not what a first kiss is supposed to be like, but she was hopeful her actual first kiss would be different.
