Tina Fey and Steve Carell have shared the world’’s longest closed-mouth kiss in their new film ‘Date Night’.

However, Fey clarified that it was supposed to be funny and not erotic.

“I want to state for my husband’’s sake that it was a comedy idea, not an erotic idea. I did pitch: Wouldn”t it be funny if the kiss was as long as the credit sequence?” the New York Daily News quoted her as saying.

She added: “It was fun because we”re both so polite and not only are we both married, we know each other’’s spouses.

“It was the world’’s longest closed-mouth kiss. It was like a tongue-less turtle mouth.”
