Patricia Arquette revealed that her worst on-screen kiss was with Ewan McGregor in the 1997 film Nightwatch. She attributed the awkward moment to a pact made with her then-husband Nicolas Cage, where they agreed to eat garlic before love scenes. Arquette explained that she followed through with the pact, but Cage did not, leading to the uncomfortable kiss. They were married for a brief period in the 1990s, officially divorcing in 2000. Currently, Arquette stars in the second season of the series Severance, which explores the lives of employees undergoing a procedure that separates their work and personal lives. The new season's episodes are being released weekly on Apple TV+.
