My first kiss

One of the things you do when you have long days on set (and therefore have to wait a lot) is show each other YouTube videos. So I showed my colleague jury member Dirk mine (this, this and when I really let go, always this) and he came up with another funny find.

The video has already been viewed 129 million times, so the chance that you've seen it is present, but I didn't know it and found it too funny. It's called ‘first kiss‘ and it immediately made me think of my first kiss, long long ago at a holiday park in Zeeland. I was fourteen and spent half an hour spinning my tongue around with Herbert van Hoogdalen – haaaiii Herbert – and actually found it quite strange and nothing. Out of shock, I crawled back into my shell for another year and a half, only to eventually enjoy it, you know. It all turned out fine.

Much more fun than the kissing scenes are the awkward moments before that, where everything in their body breathes ‘awkward’ and ‘well, shall we then’

In this video, the theme is that they bring together two people who have never met before in a studio and let them kiss each other. Much more fun than the kissing scenes are the awkward moments before that, where everything in their body breathes ‘awkward’ and ‘well, shall we then’. The great thing about the makers of this video is that they really did a very good casting. Except for the older woman and the young boy (eegh, he looked like her son), they are really a very good match.

I would say; watch it, turn the sound down a bit when they start kissing (I really find kissing sounds quite gross) and wait, just like I did, for the continuation. Because I'm sure that some of these people are still seeing each other and by now are doing a lot more than just kissing.
