Vivica A. Fox has kissed her fair share of men on-screen.

During a conversation with Radio Andy’s Bevy Smith, Fox looked back on who her best first kisses were.

Morris Chestnut. Chocolate himself,” she said, claiming he holds the No. 1 spot. As for second-best, she named Larenz Tate.

“Oh my gosh. Larenz was another one I had to forget we was rolling. You know, I was like, ‘Cut. Cut, Vivica.’”

Smith then asked whether the actress had ever acted in a movie with a single leading man, with whom Fox had a “little dalliance,” since both Chestnut and Tate were married when she worked with them.

“You know what's that old saying?” Fox asked, prompting Smith to say, “You don't shit where you eat.”

“I'm so glad she said it for me. Thank you very much. Thank you very much, but it's a rule of mine,” Fox said. “Because it is lust. You haven't taken the time to get to know a person, and so when you know the honeymoon phase wears off, and then all of a sudden they're over there glaring at each other and shit, and you're like, ‘Oh, see I knew it was going to happen.’ You know, then it creates tension on the set, which is unfair to the rest of the production, in my opinion.”

Fox appeared opposite Chestnut in the 2001 romantic comedy, Two Can Play That Game, and prior to that, in 1998, acted in Why Do Fools Fall in Love alongside Tate.
