Wolfhard previously spoke about the kiss during an interview with Jimmy Fallon and another with Vulture magazine.

Millie Bobby Brown Called Finn Wolfhard A 'Lousy Kisser'
In November 2022, Brown was featured on Vanity Fair's lie-detector series, where the magazine asked her several questions about her experiences on "Stranger Things." One question was about her infamous kiss with Wolfhard, and the interviewer asked if the actor was "just a lousy kisser?"
Brown responded with a yes, and the lie detector confirmed that it was the truth. The interviewer asked again, "So he hasn't gotten better?" And Brown responded, "Not with me, no." The lie detector confirmed that she'd told the truth again. When the interviewer pointed out that Wolfhard would also see the interview, Brown seemed not to mind, saying, "That's OK."
During a 2016 interview with Interview magazine, Brown also criticized Wolfhard's kissing abilities. She said, "I did have to kiss Finn. Finn reacted quite well and I didn't. I felt really bad afterward." However, the actress noted that the kiss was part of the job, so she accepted it and moved on.
Finn Wolfhard Reacts To Millie Bobby Brown's Comment
During a recent preview of Wolfhard's appearance on "The Drew Barrymore Show," via Insider, he finally reacted to Brown's statements about their kiss. He said, "You know what? I was fine with it. My first, like, on-screen kiss was with Millie, and so, but I didn't know how to like approach that in any way."
Wolfhard continued, "There was no, just was, like, 'You're gonna do this thing, and at the end of the take you're gonna kiss her." He revealed that he was so confused about the whole situation he "almost headbutted her." The actor further stated he was just 12 at the time, so he'd likely have done the same thing even if he was offscreen.
They've Spoken About The Kiss Before
Wolfhard and Brown have worked together on "Stranger Things" since its premiere in 2016. At the time, they were just 13 and 12 years old, respectively.

While on a 2016 interview with Vulture, Wolfhard spoke about the kiss, saying they got it on the first take. He then described Brown's reaction, saying, "Millie got up and just looked, like, disappointed. Then she yelled out, 'Kissing sucks. That sucked.' That's what she said. It was the funniest reaction I've ever seen on a person because I was her first kiss."
Both Actors Are At Busy With The Careers
Wolfhard is featured in the upcoming "When You Finish Saving the World," which is Jesse Eisenberg's directorial debut. The film explores the volatile relationship between a mother and son and premieres in the US on January 20th.
On the other hand, Brown recently featured in "Enola Holmes 2" and stars in the upcoming "The Electric State."
