Aaron Tveit, who plays Peter Orlovsky,
the gay lover of Allen Ginsberg, in Howl, says kissing his
co-star James Franco wasn't that much fun.
Tveit
told celebrity website Zap2It.com that kissing Franco wasn't as
much fun as kissing actresses Blake Lively on the CW's Gossip Girl
or America Ferrera on
ABC's Ugly Betty.
“Well, [kissing Franco was] no where
near as much fun as kissing Blake Lively and America Ferrera, so
sorry James,” he said.
Howl,
which opens in New York and San Francisco on Friday and nationwide in
October, stars Franco as beat generation poet Ginsberg fighting
obscenity charges for his 1955 poem Howl.
Tveit added that Ginsberg's life began
to turn around after he met the love of his life, Orlovsky.
“[Ginsberg and Orlovsky's]
relationship in the movie comes off very sweetly and it's kind of the
turning point in Allen's life as a writer, too,” he said. “These
guys just truly fall in love and then everything just kind of turns
around in Allen's life.”
