Elizabeth Banks Kisses with Pride in 'Walk of Shame'

Most actors will say that filming love scenes is uncomfortable, awkward, and not at all romantic. Elizabeth Banks believes otherwise.

In "Walk of Shame," Banks plays a tightly-wound L.A. news anchor whose friends convince her to get glammed up for a night on the town. She hits it off with a handsome guy (played by James Marsden) and they spend the night together. Then the next morning, she finds out she can win a national new gig if she can get across town. But she has no phone, no car, and no money.

Banks revealed on the podcast "WTF with Marc Maron" that for her, kissing scenes are a perk of the job. She told the story of how she met the man who would become her husband, sportswriter Max Handelman, in her first week of college in 1992, and she broke up with her first high-school boyfriend to date him. Banks and Handelman married in 2003, so for Banks getting to kiss her co-stars is a treat. She admitted, "I've been with two people in my life, so that's my outlet. It's my fun times."

She's made out with a wide range of leading men, many of them in over-the-top situations. In her first film, "Wet Hot American Summer," she and Paul Rudd were sloppily all over each other (they both must have enjoyed it, because they went on to make four more films together). She bit Steve Carell's lip in "The 40-Year-Old Virgin" and put on a show with Seth Rogen in "Zack and Miri Make a Porno." Plus, she's already gotten close to Marsden before, having played a couple in the much more dramatic "Heights" (they also both guest-starred on "30 Rock," but she kissed Alec Baldwin in that one).

"Walk of Shame" will be in theaters and on demand on April 25.
