Adam Sandler is teasing Jennifer Aniston about her onscreen kissing technique.

While the pair spoke with USA Today for an interview about their new movie Murder Mystery 2, Sandler, 56, joked that he told Aniston, 54, "'For God's sake, keep your mouth closed,' " while they filmed kissing scenes together.

"It was so wide!" the comedian and actor joked to the outlet. "Every time, she'd come with a big, wide mouth, and I'd be like, 'Whoa-ho-ho-ho-ho, whoa! What are we doing?' "

Sandler and Aniston, who have been friends since the early 1990s, jokingly recalled elsewhere in the interview that the actress "kicked [Sandler] in the ribs one take" for the new mystery-comedy sequel, which is streaming now on Netflix.

The pair first costarred in Just Go With It (2011) before reuniting for Netflix's original Murder Mystery (2019) to play a married couple caught in the middle of a whodunnit. Murder Mystery 2 picks up four years later, as Sandler and Aniston's Nick and Audrey Spitz try to launch their own private-eye agency as full-time detectives.
