The romantic kiss between Javier Bardem and Kate Hudson in Manhattan during the filming of their new movie

A kiss in the middle of Manhattan, with the light of the New York sunset as a backdrop, has turned Javier Bardem and Kate Hudson into protagonists of a scene that has circulated on social media in a matter of hours, generating surprise among those who witnessed it.

The moment, which at first glance seemed spontaneous, actually belongs to the filming of Hello & Paris, an adaptation of Deborah McKinlay's novel That Part Was True, directed by Elizabeth Chomko, which rules out any sentimental involvement outside of fiction.

In the film, Bardem plays a novelist in the midst of a creative crisis and Hudson a landscape architect, two characters who build a relationship through encounters marked by literature, cooking, and a progressively evolving connection.

The filming in New York, especially in central areas and during the golden hour, has contributed to the scene having a great visual impact, with passers-by turned into improvised witnesses of a carefully choreographed sequence.

Beyond the kiss, those who have followed the filming highlight the good rapport between both actors during the shoot, with moments of complicity between takes that reinforce the chemistry required by the story.
