Tuppence Middleton talks kissing scene fears, OCD and intimacy on stage

Actress Tuppence Middleton revealed on The Life of Bryony podcast that her OCD gripped her so fiercely that she feared her co-star’s children would have norovirus and pass it onto her during kissing scenes with him.

While playing Elizabeth Taylor opposite Johnny Flynn, who portrayed Richard Burton in The Motive and the Cue, Tuppence 38, was terrified that they would give the illness to their father, who would then give it to her during the intimate scenes.
