But when Hugh Jackman puckered up with a stunning Brazilian actress yesterday, the X-Men star may have found the experience rather awkward.
As the Australian actor filmed the passionate scenes for a new commercial, his wife Deborra-Lee Furness and their son Oscar, nine, were standing just a few feet away.
It's a tough job, but someone's got to do it: Hugh Jackman enjoys a passionate kiss with a Brazilian actress, who has to stand on a box, as he films a Lipton Iced Tea commercial on Grumari beach in Rio de Janeiro

No doubt the 41-year-old actor would have quite a lot of explaining to do to his son about why he was kissing another woman that wasn't Furness.
Despite the sweltering 32C temperatures on Rio De Janeiro's Grumari beach, Jackman looked dapper in a black tuxedo.
His brunette companion wore a flowing lemon-coloured gown and was given a height boost by a box so she could stand eye-to-eye with 6ft 2 actor.
After completing the shot, Jackman stripped down to his swimming trunks so he could cool off in the Atlantic Ocean with his kids.

Jackman, Furness and their two adopted children Oscar and Ava, four, are spending a week in Rio De Janeiro while the actor films his lucrative new role as the face of Lipton Iced Tea.
The family are staying at the five-star Copacabana Palace overlooking the famous Copacabana Beach.
Over the weekend, Jackman was spotted playing on the beach with his children, while Furness checked out the Feira de Artezanato (Arts and Craft Fair) in the upscale neighbourhood of Ipanema on Sunday.
Jackman has signed a multi-million dollar, three-year deal to advertise Lipton Iced Tea.

European marketing director for Lipton Ice Tea, Francois Bazini said: 'He has a great personality liked by men and women. He is very different from many other actors. He is a true entertainer who can dance, sing and act. We will use all of his skill.'
Jackman added: 'I'm delighted with my new role as the Lipton Ice Tea ambassador, which is a totally new experience for me, so it's very exciting.
'Lipton Ice Tea is a really positive brand and its values match those that are important in my life, so I can't wait to get started on all our plans.'
Following the ad shoot, Jackman is expected to begin filming new western Unbound Captives alongside Robert Pattinson and Rachel Weisz in the next few months.
