Don't be concerned if your first kiss isn't ideal. It is hard to do it right when you are nervous and with butterflies jumping up and down in your stomach.

And the more you try to make it perfect, the worse it will be. So, basically, you have to relax and go with the flow.

But even if it doesn't work out as you've imagined it, at least you have something to make you feel better - this article. Yes, even celebs had very, very bad first kisses.

It's easy to imagine our favorite celebs kissing with the same ease and passion they do in the movies based on the hot kisses we see onscreen. But unfortunately for them, not every kiss — especially their first kisses — can come up to those blockbuster lip locks.

They're just like us, those celebs...Some of our favorite people have talked about their first kiss in the past, so we've compiled a list of some of their stories below.

Whether or not you've had your first kiss, take a minute to browse through these charming, humorous, and cringe-worthy celebrity first kiss stories and remember that no matter how good or bad your first kiss was, there's always someone in a "spitter" circumstance.

1. Nick Jonas

During his BBC interview, Jonas spoke about the time he locked lips with Miley Cyrus.

"The first person I kissed was Miley Cyrus and I kissed her outside of California Pizza Kitchen in Hollywood—very romantic," the singer said. "I'd just had a pizza that had onions all over it. I'm sure that my breath smelled terrible."

They dated for two years, until December 2017.

2. Ethan Hawke

The famous actor says his first kiss took place at the Hamilton Roller Rink in New Jersey.

"Her name was Cindy, and she was wearing a Black Sabbath T-shirt. It was a slow skate, and she was smoking hot.

We skated around, and she said to me, 'Do you like Jack Daniel's?' And I said, 'Yeah. Too bad he's dead.'

She said, 'Is he dead?' I thought she meant Jimi Hendrix.

Then she said, 'Have you ever French kissed?' And I said, 'Yeah, man.' But I actually hadn't. So we snuck off behind the Coke machines and kissed."

3. Noah Centineo

His first-ever kiss took place in a hotel in Century City near Los Angeles. "I was staying there during pilot season, and there was a dance convention," he says.

"I saw this girl named Mackenzie, and I asked her if she wanted to go to a movie with me. She said yes. It was Cowboys & Aliens, with Daniel Craig.

So the movie ends, we get up, leave the theater, and we're holding hands. I walk her to her hotel room and say, 'Goodnight kiss?' And we pecked.

It was less than a millisecond. She closed the door, and that was that.

I gave her my number, but I never saw her again. It was probably a terrible peck."

4. Katy Perry

In an interview with W magazine in 2017, the famous singer said that she had her first French kiss when she was in sixth grade, during a trip to Big Bear, California.

"I was hanging out with this girl from church who had a bit of a reputation. She had a coed party, and I was not allowed to go to a coed party until eighth grade.

But I went anyway. At the party, we played Spin the Bottle.

It got to be my turn, and I spun the bottle, and, all of a sudden, I felt like there was a wet fish in my mouth.

That was my first kiss. When you're in sixth grade, there's no art to French kissing.

There's no cadence, no beautiful up and down, no waves. Instead, it just feels like your mouth is getting invaded by a slug."

5. Fred Savage and Danica McKellar

The former child stars kissed onscreen in 1988, on the set of the Wonder Years.

"The one good thing about getting your first kiss on camera is that you know it's gonna happen." Savage says, "It was terrifying. We were both really scared and nervous and didn't know what was going to happen or if we were going to do it right."

6. Shailene Woodley

"I was still playing with Barbies at 14 and didn't have my first kiss until 15-and-a-half," the actress says "He had big, beautiful lips, and I was like, 'I don't know what I'm going to do with those.'"

7. Anne Hathaway

The Oscar winner told E! News that her first kiss happened at a Maplewood movie theater in New Jersey while she and her date were watching the 1995 film Pocahontas. She was 12 at the time.

8. Millie Bobby Brown

She had her first kiss when she was 12 and it was with Finn Wolfhard on the set of Stranger Things season two.

"At the end of the day, it's only acting, and it's something you have to do, and I would do anything for the show. I cut my hair, I kissed Finn. It was definitely strange," she says.

"It was, like, my first kiss, so it was kind of weird. But then, like, when I'd done it, I thought, 'Wow. It makes sense for the storyline'...Finn reacted quite well and I didn't. I felt really bad afterward."

9. Khloe Kardashian

She had her first kiss at age 12 or 13 during a trip to Hawaii.

"The teenagers were allowed to be out until 10 p.m. and we were in an arcade where the hotel kids hung out," she recalled.

"I remember I kissed some guy there, and I thought I was so cool and so grown. I don't remember the boy, and I can't tell you anything else about the experience."

10. Kristen Stewart

"It was horrible! It was so bad," the actress recalls. "It was f--king repulsive. I was 14, and it was gross. It was not good."

11. Britney Spears

Spears says that the first person who kissed her was her All-New Mickey Mouse Club co-star Justin Timberlake at age 13. The two reconnected years later and dated from 1999 to 2002.

12. Mila Kunis

Her first kiss was with her now-husband Ashton Kutcher on the set of That '70s Show. She was 15.

"I was so nervous and uncomfortable," she told People in 2001. "I had the biggest crush on him."

Kutcher had no clue he was her first smooch. "I'm the first guy she kissed?" he then asked. "Oh my God, I had no idea! I'm so glad I didn't know that or it would've been too much pressure...I was so nervous.

She acted so cool. She seemed as if she'd done it a thousand times. I was the one with the butterflies in my stomach."

13. Lady Gaga

The famous singer says that she had her first kiss at age 14, with a boy named Austin at summer camp.

14. The Duggars

The stars of Counting On, a 19 Kids and Counting spinoff, were forbidden from kissing their partners until their weddings.

15. Andrew Garfield

The Amazing Spider-Man star said on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert in 2018 that he attended a boys-only prep school in England until he was 12 and then enrolled in a co-ed school. One of his female classmates was throwing a party at which:

"it was like a scene from Braveheart, where the Scottish and the English just start charging at each other! That was my first kiss, and I think that night I kissed 30 women—girls!

This isn't me showing off; it was a free-for-all. It was like a royal rumble.

And it remains one of the best nights of my life! It was like a mass sexual awakening.

A bacchanalian sexual awakening...That same night, I learned how to play Dungeons & Dragons.

We have to admit that some first kisses are a tad clumsy. Imagine kissing for the first time in front of millions of people — or in front of a live crowd.

That must have been tough. On the other hand, some of the actors had a crush on their co-stars, which worked out great for them.
