Gina Gershon Spills the Tea on Her Steamy Scene with Tom Cruise - and It's More Juicy Than You Think!

Get ready for a blast from the past, folks! The one and only Gina Gershon is dishing out all the dirt on her sizzling hot scene with Hollywood A-lister Tom Cruise in the 1988 classic Cocktail. And trust us, it's going to be a wild ride!

So, what happened during that infamous love scene? Well, according to Gina, Tom was supposed to pop up from under the covers and grab her waist in a sweet, tickly manner - but he got a little too playful and ended up tickling her instead! And let's just say Gina has a bit of a knee-jerk reaction... she ended up lashing out and nearly breaking Tom's nose!

The Showgirls star, 63, starred alongside the Mission: Impossible star, 62, on the 1988 classic Cocktail and filmed her very first love scene with him (Tom is pictured in the movie)

Gina, 63, was mortified at the time, thinking her Hollywood career was over before it even began. But fear not, dear reader - Tom, being the gentleman he is, took the blame and assured Gina that it was his fault for not respecting her boundaries. Talk about a silver lining, right?

This wasn't the only drama Gina faced during her early days in Tinseltown, though. She recently revealed on The Scholarly Note.com that her agents advised her against taking a role in the 1996 neo-noir crime thriller Bound - simply because it was a lesbian-themed film!

Can you believe it? Gina's agents thought playing a lesbian ex-cop would ruin her chances at stardom, but she wasn't having it! Undeterred by their warnings, Gina joined the cast of Bound anyway, and boy, did it pay off! The film earned critical acclaim and cemented Gina's status as a Hollywood A-lister.

However, things didn't go to plan as Gina - who was in her 20s at the time - was left fearing her Hollywood career was over when she injured megastar Tom (both pictured in the film)

So what made Bound so special? For starters, it tackled bigger issues than just being a "lesbian movie." According to Gina, it was really about trust - and that's something she's all too familiar with. After all, she had to trust Tom Cruise not to tickle her during that infamous love scene!

Gina's latest revelation has left us wondering what other secrets she might be hiding up her sleeve. Will we see more juicy behind-the-scenes stories from this Hollywood veteran? Only time will tell, but one thing is for sure - Gina Gershon is a force to be reckoned with in the world of entertainment!

In another insight into her career, Gina also recently revealed her agents advised her against taking a lesbian role in the 1996 neo-noir crime thriller Bound alongside Jennifer Tilly
