Sarah Shahi Reveals Shocking Sopranos Kiss with Gandolfini

Sarah Shahi recounted a memorable on-screen kiss with James Gandolfini during her guest role on The Sopranos, describing it as one of her best. The passionate encounter extended beyond the director's calls to 'cut,' with the kiss continuing even after filming concluded multiple times.

Shahi, who played Christopher's mistress Sonya, also detailed filming sex scenes with Gandolfini's character, Tony Soprano. Initially, she expressed doubt about generating chemistry with the older actor, referring to him as a "large balding man." However, she was soon won over by his compelling energy.

She further praised Gandolfini's commitment to his role, identifying him as a method actor. Shahi revealed that Gandolfini requested dehydrated mushrooms with pepper or spice to elicit a genuine on-screen reaction. This dedication contributed to the intensity of their shared scenes.
