Jessica Chastain spoke about the touches of the famous charmer that the world has been buzzing about: "He wanted to kiss me on the elbow"

Jessica Chastain (44) finally spoke about the events from Venice that millions of people around the world have been talking about for days.

Namely, she and her colleague Oscar Isaac (42) became the target of gossip after the photos and recordings of their very intimate moment from the red carpet in Venice went viral.

At the ceremonial premiere of the mini-series "Scenes from a Marriage", in which they play a married couple, their behavior gave the impression that they are more than colleagues and friends, even though they have both been happily married for a long time.

In addition to constantly exchanging gentle touches and hugs, Oscar passionately sniffed and kissed Jessica's forearm and armpit in front of the camera.

Finally, Jessica broke the silence about this matter.

"I'll just say that everyone looks great on the slow-motion video," said the charming actress for the Today show, and then she explained what was really happening.

"When you look at it in regular speed, I'm looking straight ahead and he looks over at me and he just kind of goes to give me a peck on my elbow, and at the same time, I'm going to give him a hug," the actress justified herself and Oscar.

"All the photographers started laughing" she added and joked about how the video went viral because people during the pandemic crave touches and hugs more than ever.

She also emphasized how they were both happily married to other people, and that all this, allegedly, "was only a part of the promotion" of their new series.

By the way, Jessica has been married to the Italian Count Gian Luca Passi de Preposulo (39) since 2017, with whom she has two children.

On the other hand, Oscar has also been married since 2017 to Danish screenwriter Elvira Lind, with whom she has a son.
