Maybe it’s that the first interracial kiss on TV between Uhura and Kirk was only “allowed” to air because William Shatner purposefully went cross-eyed directly at the camera when filming the ‘alternate takes’. He knew that if there was a viable alternative, then the studio would use it.
He’s quite the cheeky devil. And for a noble cause.
Less noble, but still fun, is Liam Neeson needing multiple takes in a scene from “Third Person”. In that moment, he got to make out with Olivia Wilde. Wouldn’t ya know it, just couldn’t get it right.

He simply made sure there wasn’t one.

Sorry, what were the alternate takes about? Did they not have the kiss?
He went out of his way to purposely…
…any take that did not include said kiss.
Possibly the only thing Shatner and Nichols ever agreed on was the importance of that shot, too.
