“I was married to somebody at the time, and we were very young and impressionable people,” Arquette said. “We made a deal that we were going to eat garlic if we had to do love scenes, so I ate garlic before I had to kiss Ewan McGregor, and I’m like, ‘I’m so sorry, but I told my husband I was going to have to eat some garlic.’”
However, she later discovered that Cage did not uphold his end of the deal when he had to film a love scene.
