People magazine obtained the 'Dune' star's recent British Vogue interview where she recalled refusing her first kissing scene for the camera.
"I remember being on Shake It Up and being like, 'I'm not gonna do this. I'm going to kiss him on the cheek because I haven't been kissed yet so I don't want the kiss to be on camera,'" the 25-year-old actor recalled.
The 'Euphoria' star starred on Disney Channel's sitcom 'Shake It Up' alongside Bella Thorne from 2010 to 2013.
