Cara Delevingne talks locking lips with Selena Gomez for Only Murders In The Building
Cara Delevingne has opened up about sharing kissing scenes with Selena Gomez in season two of the hit show Only Murders In The Building on Hulu.
In the second episode of season two, Selena’s character Mabel Mora gets passionate with her new love interest Alice Banks, played by supermodel Cara, as they lock lips while talking about art.
Speaking to E!’s web series, While You Were Streaming, the 29-year-old said: ‘It was just fun. Would anyone in the world not like to kiss Selena?’
She further explained: ‘It was just hysterical. It’s just one of those things, especially when you know someone so well, it’s the comfortability and you kind of have fun with it.’
Speaking on their friendship, she added: ‘We never get to see each other as much because we’re so busy. So to be able to spend that much time with her, and also to be able to work with her, she’s just such an incredible person to work with whether I know her or not. She is brilliant, like one of my favorite actors I’ve ever worked with.’
Cara and Selena first met when they were 15 and became fast friends, even getting matching rose tattoos in December last year.
It starts to get racy between the pair after Mabel goes back to the art studio where Alice has encouraged her to smash a piece of art in order to help release her emotions.
Releasing more than just her emotions, the challenge ends up releasing some passionate feelings between the two characters.
‘I feel better,’ Mabel declares after destroying the artwork, as she walks over to Alice to kiss her.
‘I feel better too,’ Alice whispers after their steamy eight-second kiss.
Earlier this week, Cara spoke about how she loves being able to ‘represent’ the queer community in ‘Only Murders in the Building’.
The model – who identifies as pansexual and is currently thought to be dating singer Minke – admitted that she and the former Disney Channel actress had such an ‘easy’ time together on set.
She said: ‘It was honestly the best project I’ve ever done. I just didn’t want it to end. I really loved being able to represent the queer community. It was so easy and safe.’
‘[Selena and I] already have that relationship in terms of comfortability. But honestly, it was the best set to ever work on, it was so hard to end… it should just continue forever.’
Cara was already a big fan of the show before she landed her role after being impressed with the writing.
She said: ‘The story that they write and how it unfolds, it’s just never expected and that’s what I love so much because I’m usually pretty good at that stuff and I really have still never got it right.’
Meanwhile, pop star Selena, 29, – who has played the role of true crime obsessive Mabel on the mystery-comedy since it began in 2021 – echoed her new co-star’s thoughts and enjoyed working with Cara because they have been friends for several years.
She told Entertainment Tonight: ‘I’ve known her for so many years. It was honestly like working with a childhood friend. I just enjoyed it. She’s hilarious!’
Cara is to star as sophisticated New York City art world insider Alice on the show, who becomes embroiled in the apartment building’s ongoing murder puzzles and will also be seen on screen alongside other regulars Steve Martin and Martin Short when the season premieres on Hulu this week.
