In a funny twist that highlights the lighter side of Hollywood filming, Jessica Rose Lee shared a delightful reaction to actress Iliza Shlesinger’s cheeky comment about kissing her husband, Tom Welling, in their film, Chasing Summer. During a recent Instagram post at the Sundance Film Festival, Shlesinger jokingly described the experience as reminiscent of kissing "a honey-baked ham," thanks to Welling’s sweaty performance while shooting. It’s a reminder that even movie magic has its quirky moments!
Filmed in St. Louis during a hot summer, the story revolves around Jamie, played by Shlesinger, who returns to her small Texas hometown after losing her job and boyfriend. It’s a relatable premise peppered with humor, and who would have thought that a simple kiss would lead to such memorable commentary? Welling’s co-stars, including Lola Tung and Garrett Wareing, joined in the fun as they navigated the joys and challenges of filming.
Of course, nothing brings the laughs like sharing a good joke, and Lee’s Instagram post sparked plenty of playful responses from fans and followers. After all, comparing a love interest to a holiday ham is quite the compliment, right? It seems like warmth and laughter are at the heart of this film—and maybe a little sweat too!
