Kate Hudson says Heath Ledger was her best ever on-screen kiss.
The 35-year-old actress - who has sons Ryder, 10, from her marriage to Matt Bellamy, and Bingham, three, with fiance Matt Bellamy - has shared smooches with some of Hollywood's hunkiest leading men including Matthew McConaughey and Billy Crudup but admitted her late 'Four Feathers' co-star was her favourite.
Speaking on 'Watch What Happens Live' with Andy Cohen, Kate said: "I would say my favourite one was Heath [Ledger. That was pretty excellent."
"He was just so beautiful and sweet and gentle. I would say that, I look back at all of the... and that was really... he was lovely."
Heath died from an accidental overdose in 2008 at the age of just 28.
When speaking of her favourite on-screen kiss, Kate didn't upset her 'Wish I Was Here' co-star and director Zach Braff, who was right beside her, even though she didn't mention him.
The caller who posed the question to her made sure that Zach wouldn't feel left out by saying: "Who's been your best kisser from all your movie stars, or your costars? Excluding Zach, cause I'm sure Zach is a good kisser."
A grateful Zach replied: "Thank you, darling! Thank you for saying, 'present company excluded.'"

Leonardo DiCaprio and Lindsay Lohan cheered on Orlando Bloom after he tried to hit Justin Bieber.
The 'Lord of the Rings' actor reportedly swung a punch at the 'Baby' singer at Cipriani restaurant in Ibiza in the early hours of Wednesday (30.07.14) morning and other guests at the bash at the eatery found the incident amusing.
Anastasia Skolkova, a model and journalist from Spain who witnessed the incident, told the Daily Mirror online: "When Orlando punched Bieber, everyone started clapping. People were shouting, 'What a show! Justin and Orlando fighting. What a show!' Lindsay [Lohan] was laughing. It was amazing.
"The whole table he and DiCaprio were on were clapping. Afterwards, I don't know if people were congratulating Orlando or trying to calm him down."
Although Orlando - who had been having dinner with Leonardo before the scuffle - threw the first punch, Justin was thrown out as he allegedly started it by mouthing off about Orlando's ex-wife Miranda Kerr, who the singer was romantically linked with while they were still married.
Anastasia said: "He was thrown out of the place, and then Orlando continued the party. After about 10 minutes, Orlando also went away. DiCaprio and some other friends stayed behind."
And while Lindsay initially found the altercation hilarious, she reportedly did try to calm Justin down as he left.
Anastasia said: "Lindsay Lohan tried to get Bieber a little bit calm when he went away to the exit but he was like, 'I don't want to speak to anyone.' "

Dita Von Teese threw her annual Garden & Arts party on Sunday (27.07.14).
The burlesque dancer was joined by a group of close friends at the Kia Motors Malibu Estate for the daytime bash, and her guests got to enjoy a number of different crafty activities, including candle making, mask making and paper flower construction.
Dita donned an elegant green dress with a red bra visible to match her Louboutin flats, while her partygoers donned fancy dress, with dinosaurs, flowers and cats among the disguises on show.
And as well as taking part in craft classes, the guests were also asked to make a wish in a 'wish-a-saurus' ceremony.
Everyone at the party was asked to write a wish down and place it into a dinosaur-shaped piñata before reading them aloud once it was destroyed.
One partygoer told People magazine: "It was amazing and artistic. Dita was in great spirits."
The 41-year-old beauty - who was previously married to Marilyn Manson and also dated French aristocrat Louis Marie de Castelbajac - recently admitted she has a "uniform" that makes her feel sexy.
She said: "I have a distinctive aesthetic of what I think is sexy, and I have kind of a uniform. It's usually something that shows a little bit of cleavage and possibly has long sleeves. I like to wear long, black, leather upper glove and black long-seamed stocking. I like to have my hemline just below the knee, and I like a perfect Louboutin pump."

Whitney Port won't buy her wedding dress until the "last minute".
The former 'Hills' star says her and fiance Tim Rosenman's wedding plans are going "great" and though she wouldn't say when or where the nuptials will take place, she admitted she hasn't yet bought her outfit for the big day as she fears she would change her mind before making it down the aisle.
She told the New York Daily News newspaper: "I'm waiting until the last minute because I change my mind all the time!"
The 29-year-old beauty- who has her own fashion label, Whitney Eve - has teamed up with Wedding Paper Divas to launch her own range of wedding stationery and she hopes the diverse range of six designs offers something for every bride.
She said: "A wedding is such a personal affair, so I wanted everyone to find something.
"We talked about the different vibes and the wedding that I would want [when designing]."
The collection - which includes save-the-date cards, invitations, RSVP cards and thank you notes - ranges from bohemian poppy designs to floral prints with a flourishing script and some which the designer described as "arty and Aztec-y".
Asked for her favourite design, Whitney said she would choose "elements from all of them" for her own invites, but admitted she mostly preferred the 'Lavish Laurel' range.

Michael Jackson's famous Neverland Ranch is to be sold.
The Santa Barbara property will reportedly be put on the market by Colony Capital - who own a primary stake in the estate - after buying out the late singer's $23 million mortgage to save it from foreclosure in 2008 - in order to recoup the debt they are owed on the house.
A source told RadarOnline.com: "Colony Capital has the legal right to sell the property to pay down the debt they are owed from the loan, interest, management fee and maintenance costs."
The property is worth around $27 million, but insiders believe it could fetch as much as $60 million because of its famous former owner.
Officials from Michael's estate said they are "saddened" by the news of the sale but insist they plan to keep the legacy of the 'Thriller' hitmaker - who died of acute Propofol intoxication in June 2009 - going strong at his other former home.
They said in a statement: "We are saddened at the prospect of the sale of Neverland which, under the agreement negotiated during Michael's lifetime, Colony has the right to sell. The estate will maintain Michael's family home in Encino, including its iconic recording studio there.
"[We will] continue to build upon Michael's legacy as an artistic genius and humanitarian through his music and new projects such as the Michael Jackson ONE show in Las Vegas."
The estate went on to appeal to any buyers of Neverland to respect the "historical importance" of the property.
They added: "We hope and trust that any new owners of Neverland will respect the historical importance and special nature of this wonderful property. Michael's memory lives on in the hearts of his fans worldwide."
And the officials told fans they had "explored" a number of "potential options" for the ranch.
However, they added: "Zoning, financial and land use restrictions limited the alternatives and ultimately Colony made the decision to sell."
A source added: "Efforts were made to keep Neverland, and Michael's estate tried to make it happen. However, they were unable to come to an agreement."
Michael bought the 3,000 acre property in 1988 and lived there until his child molestation trial in 2004.

Wesley Snipes' faith and his family got him through his time in prison.
The 52-year-old actor was jailed for three years in 2010 for tax evasion but was "inspired" by the way "greater" people have got through tough times, as well as his loved ones, wife Nikki Park, their four children and his son from his first marriage.
Asked how he coped in jail, he told Loaded magazine: "First you have your faith in the most high and your spiritual foundation - that's the key to anything no matter what the situation is.
"And then the knowledge that greater men than me have been through worse situations is always an inspiration. Your family's an inspiration."
Wesley - who claims he was the victim of "bad advice" about his taxes - also credited his martial arts training with helping him to cope while he was behind bars.
He explained: "You overcome man, you know? You overcome. Both as an actor and as a martial artist one is trained to deal with adversity and embrace it as an opportunity to improve and see a brighter future for yourself. And you do what they call the shaking time, like when you trim a plant and you cut away all of the dead stuff or when a snake sheds its skin, and you're born anew."

Jeff Bridges can't decide whether to relax or work harder as he is getting older.
The 64-year-old actor worries his time is running out so thinks he needs to cram in as much as possible, but has a conflicting feeling that he doesn't want to end his days by doing "homework".
He said: "I've got two conversations going on in my head. One says, 'Hey, you've got a lot of stuff you want to do, man. Now's the time, because you're gonna kick the bucket pretty soon.'
"The other says, 'Oh, Jeff, you want to make the rest of your life a giant homework assignment? Just relax, man. Just relax.' "
The 'Giver' star insists getting old doesn't worry him too much.
He added: "You inhale, you exhale, and you get on with it."
And one benefit Jeff - who has daughters Isabelle, 32, Jessie, 31, and Hayley, 28, with wife Susan Geston - has found that comes as time passes by is how much better marriage life has got.
He said: "What they don't tell you about marriage is that it just keeps getting better on all levels -- emotion, sex, intimacy. Intimacy is what we're all looking for. It's kind of a big high."
The 'Big Lebowski' star also recalled his "pretty great" upbringing with his wonderful parents, actors Dorothy and Lloyd Bridges.
Speaking to the August/September issue of AARP The Magazine, he said: "I had a pretty great childhood. [My mother] was kind of a spectacular mom.
"[My dad] had such tremendous fun with what he was doing, and the feeling was contagious."

Robert Pattinson "likes" his feelings of anxiety.
The 28-year-old actor has considered seeing a therapist but doesn't know how helpful it would be, and feels lucky his bouts of feeling low never last very long.
He joked: "I would love to go into therapy but it makes me too anxious."
He then added to The Daily Telegraph newspaper: "I've been talking to a lot of people about it and I don't know. I kind of like my anxiety in a funny sort of way and I like my peaks and troughs.
"Luckily, depression never lasts long with me."
The British actor saw his career skyrocket when he was cast as vampire Edward Cullen in the 'Twilight Saga' franchise and he admits he initially "struggled" with how fame changed his life, but is now more accepting.
He said: "I had a bit of a struggle at first because my life really contracted and I couldn't do a lot of the stuff I used to be able to do.
"But once I got through that a year or two ago I just accepted my life is something else and now I can't really remember what it was like before. So it's much easier to deal with."
