Some actors just don’t kiss and tell, but on January 24, Law and Order: SVU Star Christopher Meloni61, took to Twitter to do a few kissing jokes before Thursday Mariska Hargitay, 59, possible connection episode. At first, a fan wrote in to ask Chris how he and his longtime co-star met, which he has answered“I’m glad you asked. I got a screen test audition for a new show called Sex crimes and when I walked through the door… “But it wasn’t until a fan told the 61-year-old that he and Mariska lacked chemistry that things got really cheeky.

“Idk you have NO chemistry. Maybe it should have been [John] grating instead,” the follower joked. It was only a matter of time until Chris clapped back. “I don’t kiss John Slattery,” he wrote of the Mad Men alum. The kiss comment comes just days later Law and Order: SVU released a hanging clip from the January 26 episode where he and Mariska nearly share a kiss before the teaser ends. “The moment we’ve all been waiting for. Don’t miss new episodes of #LawAndOrder, #SVU and #OrganizedCrime Thursday at 8/7c on @NBC and streaming on @peacock,” the tweet read.

In addition to the spicy tweets, Christopher appeared on the TODAY To display on January 25, where he was grilled by Savannah Guthrie51, and Hoda Kotb, 58, to find out whether or not he ended up kissing his co-star. “We have to go Law and order on you,” Savannah joked. “Sir, you were there, you were in the apartment, you had the motive and you had the means…your lips.” She then asked, “Did you or didn’t you kiss her?” After a spotlight shone on Chris, he put on a poker face and said, “I want my lawyer.”
Later he told the exit how he and Mariska prepared for the steamy episode. “What did we do different? There’s nothing too different,” he began. “When you’ve been friends and colleagues and the kind of love relationship that we have… you are introduced to what the scenes are about and you enter. He also noted that it was “an interesting scene” to film while calling it a “tricky scene”. He also called it “awkward” and “difficult”, but made sure to note, “but that’s all good”. Finally, at the end of the video, he joked that he “blew a mint candy” before taking the stage with the brunette beauty.
Along with the job and possible kissing scenes, the mum-of-three took to social media on January 24 to reveal that Chris had sent her amazing flowers for her birthday. “Hey Chris, you asked me if I knew what day it was yesterday and I wasn’t sure,” she began in the instagram clip. “But then I understood because you gave me those pretty flowers!” His clip was in particular in response to that of Chris of January 23 where he wished him a happy birthday. “Celebrate it Marsha,” he captioned the post office. Both actors have starred on the hit series since 1999.
