Amanda Seyfried is not a fan of kissing her co-stars on movie sets, claiming it is ”really annoying”.

The 24-year-old actress – who is currently in an on/off relationship with British hunk Dominic Cooper – admits she hates locking lips with her colleagues for film storylines and would rather save these “intimate” gestures for personal moments.

She said: “I had to kiss eight guys in one weekend. I was screen testing for the two characters that are playing opposite me. It’s really annoying – an intimate thing you have to do with people you don’t want to be intimate with.”

However, the pretty blonde star was able to see the funny side of it when film bosses teased her about kissing session by sending her an amusing package.

She laughed: “As a joke, the studio sent me a basket containing Listerine mouthwash and Tic Tac mints.”

The actress has had a busy few months with five films being release since the beginning of 2009.

However, Amanda is determined not to become typecast into a role.

She told the Daily Mirror newspaper: “I’m never going to be on one path. ‘Dear John‘ and ‘Letters To Juliet‘ were shot about a year apart but are coming out in the same four-month period. That was a mistake.”
