Jonah Hill and Lauren London’s ‘You People’; kiss was fake

• A kiss between Jonah Hill and Lauren London was allegedly faked.
• The couple’s wedding kiss is partially hidden by falling flowers.
• Lauren already said that she was initially hesitant to watch the movie.

A kiss between Jonah Hill and Lauren London in the movie “You People” was allegedly faked using computer graphics.

The two actors—who play Ezra Cohen and Amira Mohammed, respectively—lock lips at the conclusion of the Netflix romantic comedy, but according to Andrew Schulz, the scene was faked in post-production using computer magic.

When guest Nyla Simone said she agreed with social media comments that the stars didn’t make a credible relationship, Andrew, who plays Ezra’s cousin Avi, revealed the revelation while discussing the film on his and Charlamagne Tha God’s “Brilliant Idiots” podcast.

He said: “There’s a hilarious thing — I don’t even know if I should share this s*** — but the final scene, they don’t even kiss. It’s CGI. Swear to God.

“I’m there — I’m watching the wedding — and I see them go in for the kiss, and their faces stop like this far. And I’m like, ‘I wonder how they’re gonna play that in the movie. Oh, they’re probably just gonna cut right there.’

“But the movie, you could see their faces come close, and then you could see their faces morph a little bit into a fake kiss.”

The couple’s wedding kiss is partially hidden by falling flower petals in a medium shot that is shown in the movie a minute before the closing credits.

Lauren already said that she was initially hesitant to watch the movie because she had doubts about how sincere the bond between Ezra and Amira would feel. Andrew’s confession follows Lauren’s admission.

She said: “I thought, ‘Why would these two people really like each other?’ We have to showcase a real connection. They’re from two totally different worlds, and if you see them, you would never think that they would meet or hang out, whatever the case is.”
