Amy Adams admitted it was her idea for Jennifer Lawrence to kiss her in the movie "American Hustle".
The actress, who's nominated for a Golden Globe, said Wednesday on "Chelsea Lately" she came up with the idea based on the personalities of her and co-star Jennifer Lawrence's characters in the David O. Russell directed movie.
"My character is really strong and her character is kind of crazy, and I was thinking, 'Why would I let her leave?' " Adams, 39, told Chelsea Handler. "Because I really want to tell her something. And I thought, 'What's the craziest thing she could have done to me?' And I thought she should kiss me."
In "American Hustle" currently in theaters, Adams plays the girlfriend of the character played by Christian Bale, who's also married to Lawrence's character in the movie, according to the New York Daily News.
Adams said that Lawrence, 23, kept an open mind about the kiss.
"[Jennifer] is the most awesome girl ever," Adams told Handler.
Lawrence told "Extra" she liked kissing Adams.
"We kissed," Lawrence said. "It was great."
Adams is up for a Golden Globe for Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture. Not only was the kiss her idea, Adams told "Extra" that the two ended up having great chemistry together.
"The volatile energy between Jennifer and I, it almost borders on intimacy because it's so immediate, and so there and then she kisses me," she said. "The funny thing is, is I really didn't get to kiss her back which was unfortunate," Adams told Handler.
Adams and Lawrence are not the only Hollywood women to admit to enjoying a lip-lock. Emma Thompson said in a recent interview with The Advocate magazine that she and Sandra Bullock would be willing to go gay for each other, according to E! Online.
"Well, I met Sandy Bullock at an awards thing a couple years ago, and she said to me, 'If I were gay, you'd be the one.' I said, I'm there!'" Thompson said.
