Storm Reidsure has one memorable first kiss story — well, first andsecondkiss, that is!
“Not only did I have to kiss one person, but I had to kiss two because they were twins,” she told host James Corden. “So I had to kiss the boy, and they’d be like, ‘Okay cut,’ and ‘Other boy, come on!'”
“They looked the same, they’re identical, so obviously the audience doesn’t know that I’m kissing two people, but that was a lot for my 9-year-old self,” she confessed. “It was my first kiss, and it was two people? I was like Oh. My. God.”
