The actress named her late “Smokey and the Bandit” co-star — and ex-boyfriend — when a “Watch What Happens Live” viewer asked her during Thursday’s episode to recall her “worst” on-screen kiss.

“I think you should,” host Andy Cohen replied.
“OK, this is gonna be a shocker. Hold on, folks. Burt Reynolds,” the “Mrs. Doubtfire” star then admitted.
“It was just not something he really did very well. I could go into detail, but you don’t want to hear it.”
When Cohen, 54, argued that he did want specifics, asking whether Reynolds used too much “tongue,” Field set the record straight.
“Just a lot of drooling was involved,” she clarified.

Field appeared on “Good Morning America” later that same month, telling viewers about her relationship with the “complicated man.”
Their connection was “instantaneous,” with Field recalling, “Four days felt like four years. … We were sort of, you know, deeply entangled.”
She explained, “That nature of it wasn’t just, ‘Oh, this is a love affair.’ There was some ingredient between us having to do with my caretaking and him needing to be taken care of.”
