Katie Holmes shared many kisses with James Van Der Beek and Joshua Jackson during their six seasons on "Dawson's Creek." Under pressure from "The Late Late Show" host James Corden to pick the better kisser, Holmes would neither confirm nor deny which of her on-screen beaus locked lips best.
The 37-year-old actress first revealed that she shared her first on-screen kiss with a guest star on The WB teen drama at age 18. Although an awkward experience, Holmes described the kiss as "good."
"It's so awkward because with a first kiss in life if it doesn't go well you're kind of like, 'Oh, I gotta get home,' or 'Thanks' [little hand wave], and never have to deal with that person again. But on screen, you're gonna have to have lunch and you probably have to work together tomorrow," she told the late night host, sitting next to Ryan Reynolds and Judd Apatow.
Corden then pressed her about TV boyfriends Dawson and Pacey. She refused to answer and threw the question back to Corden who answered "Da Beek because I would get straight up in his grill." Reynolds then confirmed his former high school classmate Jackson "is a terrific kisser."
Still denying the guys an answer, Corden took her apprehensiveness on Jackson as an affirmative for Pacey.
Joey and Pacey forever!
Holmes has opened up more about her time on "Dawson's Creek," which made her a household name before she was walking down the aisle with Tom Cruise. She recently talked about the possibility to reunite the characters from Capeside, Mass., and how the evolution of technology today wouldn't fit the format of the show.
"When I look back at the show, it had a certain charm... It was before the Internet really took over, it was before iPhones, it was before this kind of new form of communication and it has this certain feeling that was of the '90s," Holmes told the "Today" show while promoting her new film, "Touched with Fire." "I don't think in today's world you could achieve that same kind of feeling."
Despite all the reboots and revivals coming down the pipe, maybe don't hold out for a "Dawson's Creek" reunion of any kind, any time soon.
