- Andrew Schulz, who plays Jonah Hill's cousin in "You People," said a kiss in the movie was fake.
- "It's CGI. Swear to god," the comedian said on his "Brilliant Idiots" podcast.
- "In the movie, you could see their faces come close, and then you can see their faces morph," he said.
Jonah Hill and Lauren London apparently never kissed while filming the end of the Netflix comedy "You People," according to comedian Andrew Schulz.
Right before the credits, Hill's character Ezra and London's character Amira are shown kissing after finishing their marriage vows. In a slow-motion shot, the pair lean in for the kiss as flower petals fall.
Of course, viewers at home will see them kiss on-screen. But Schulz, who plays Ezra's cousin Avi in the film, said that was the work of movie magic.
"I don't even know if I should share this shit, but in the final scene, they don't even kiss," Schulz said on his "Brilliant Idiots" podcast (at the 9:30 mark) that he cohosts with Charlamagne The God. "It's CGI. Swear to god, son."
"I'm there, I'm watching the wedding, and I see them go in for the kiss and their faces stop like this far," Schulz explained, putting his hands about six inches apart to show the distance.
"And I'm like, 'I wonder how they're going to play that in the movie. Oh, they're probably just going to cut right there,'" he continued. "But in the movie, you could see their faces come close, and then you can see their faces morph a little bit into a fake kiss."
