As Cohen<\/strong> ran through the list of well-known names, Lopez<\/strong> paused before offering her answer. “I’m going to say my favorite \u2014 Is it rom-com you said, or it doesn’t matter?”<\/strong> she asked<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
\n

When Cohen<\/strong> told her it didn’t matter, she gave a response no one saw coming. “I just did a movie with Brett Goldstein, and I would say he was the best kisser,”<\/strong> she said<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Lopez<\/strong> was referring to the Netflix romantic comedy “Office Romance,”<\/strong> which she announced via Instagram<\/a> on March 7, 2025. The film, which also stars “Ted Lasso”<\/strong> actor Brett Goldstein<\/strong>, was shot in Hoboken, New Jersey<\/strong>, just across the river from her native Bronx<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

In a USA Today<\/i> interview published on September 26, 2025, Goldstein<\/strong> reflected on the shoot and joked about the chaos that came with filming near Lopez’s<\/strong> hometown. “A nightmare,”<\/strong> he said<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

“The shoot was a dream,”<\/strong> he explained<\/a>. “The two days we filmed outside were, forget it, just because of paparazzi everywhere. It was a nightmare. I thought, ‘If [Lopez and I] make another film together, I’m going to keep all the scenes indoors.'”<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Despite starring opposite some of Hollywood’s most legendary actors, Lopez’s<\/strong> pick for best on-screen kiss wasn’t one of her longtime collaborators, but her newest.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
