Kaley Cuoco Said "Kids Got Wild" Behind The Scenes On Disney Films At The Start Of Her Career
Kaley Cuoco has been in the business forever. Her first gig came as a 7-year-old in the film Quicksand: No Escape, playing the role of Connie Reinhardt way back in 1992. From then on, the '90s was filled with random cameos on TV shows, which usually tends to be the case for young actors.
Cuoco went on to reveal that her first time working with Disney was pretty significant, given that it led to her first kiss with a co-star. Cuoco admitted although Disney is generally for families, things were a little edgier at times behind the scenes.
She tells ET, "Kids got wild on those Disney movies back in the day."
"My first kiss was on set. It was actually not on set, but it was while I was shooting with a guy that was shooting with me. He took me on a date and he actually kissed me and it was my first one."
Unfortunately, Cuoco's date was fired from the Disney project. Thankfully, the actress stayed onboard.
"I had a big crush on him. He was really cute, actually. He was adorable," she continues. "But then he got fired from the movie, I remember. So obviously, it did not end well for him. It ended well for me. I had a great kiss. I didn’t get fired. It was great."

Kaley Cuoco wasn't pleased with Jim Parsons' seating arrangement at the SAG Awards.
When the scene came to an end, it was more awkwardness.
"When they called 'cut,' I’d be hovering over him like I was on a toilet. I’m like, 'I’m not touching anything, I’m not looking at anything.' I didn't know what to do."
Kaley's co-star himself admitted that the actress made things more complicated than they needed to be. "[Huisman] was like, 'You’re acting so weird. You’re making this way weirder than it needs to be,'" she recalled.
It was all worth it in the end, as Cuoco enjoyed massive success thanks to her role in the series.
Kaley Cuoco Also Took Exception To Certain Intimate Big Bang Theory Scenes
Kaley Cuoco also had some intimate scenes on TBBT. However, they were of the light-hearted nature compared to The Flight Attendant. Nonetheless, at the time, Cuoco thought Chuck Lorre was purposely heating things up on the show due to her real-life break up with Johnny Galecki. Kaley thought the showrunner was playing a joke on them.
She questioned the extra intimate scenes for Penny. "All of a sudden, we started noticing there were extra makeout scenes for our characters, and/or sex scenes. I was like, ‘I think Chuck is ******* with us!’”
Kaley continued, "We were convinced. Convinced! Like, Yeah, they want to date and break up on my show, well, here you go! And he was writing all the little doodads in there."
As expected, Lorre revealed in The Big Bang Theory: The Definitive, Inside Story of the Epic Hit Series that he didn't have the time to muster up such a plan, especially given the tight shooting schedule on TBBT.
