Jennette McCurdy was yelled at again and again for her first kiss in iCarly with Nathan Kress.
Jennette McCurdy, a former Nickelodeon actress, remembered her unpleasant experience recording her first-ever kissing scene while playing a lead role in the popular sitcom.
In her brand-new memoir, "I'm Glad My Mom Died," McCurdy writes in-depth about her time playing Sam Puckett in "iCarly" and the spin-off series "Sam & Cat," both of which were developed by TV producer Dan Schneider.
McCurdy said in her autobiography that the encounter was both her first on-screen and real-life kiss.
The actor claimed that a man known only as "The Creator" yelled at her throughout filming, which added to her anxiety.
"Our lips are touching," McCurdy recalled.
"He's moving his mouth around a bit, but I can't move mine. I'm frozen. His eyes are closed. Mine aren't. Mine are wide open, staring at him. It's so odd, staring at a person while your faces are touching. I don't like it. I can smell his hair gel", she explained.
She continued, "'Move your head around a bit more, Jennette!' The Creator yells from off-camera."
McCurdy claimed that while she "honestly" attempted to comply with the request made of her, her body was "stiff" and "unflinching."
