Home And Away hunk Ryan Kwanten apparently has some serious smooching skills, with former co-star Alexander Skarsgard saying he’s a better kisser than Margot Robbie and Nicole Kidman.
The actors co-starred in hit noughties vampire series True Blood and in one steamy scene they locked lips. And it seems it had a big impact, as when Alexander was quizzed about his TV kisses, he suggested Ryan was better at it than the Hollywood A-listers he’s been up close and personal with on screen.
The kiss came up in 2016, when Alexander appeared on TV show The Project. He was asked to choose the best kisser out of Ryan, Margot – who he kissed in The Legend Of Tarzan – and Nicole, who starred opposite him in Big Little Lies.

“Out of the three I’ve got to say Ryan Kwanten is surprisingly a good kisser actually,” said the actor. “He’s very tender.”

“You wouldn’t think it because he’s kind of a tough guy,” Alexander went on. “But very soft, gentle, tender touch,” he added.
Ryan is best known for playing Vinnie Patterson in the Aussie soap, and the character was a Summer Bay favourite from 1997 to 2002. He went on to star in True Blood in 2008, playing the character Jason Stackhouse.

He also worked with Rob Kazinsky on the fantasy horror series, and at the time the EastEnders actor was equally complimentary about Ryan’s skills. A fan on Twitter (now X) had asked Rob the name of his best on-screen kisser, and he replied: “@Ryan_Kwanten BOOM!”
The pair shared some memorable on-screen moments, including one where Ryan’s character shaves Rob’s character.

Rob previously told Metro he “couldn’t have asked for a better person” to film a racy True Blood scene with. “Ryan has done more sex scenes and been more naked in this show than anyone in television ever,” he joked.
He said of the shaving sequence: “It’s very tongue-in-cheek. When we were filming it I’ve never laughed so much in my life… It was something I’d never done before, but we had a great time.”
