After making more than 100 movies, Jackie Chan has finally filmed his first celluloid kiss.

The kung fu star broke his 31-year, on-screen drought when he kissed hot actress Claire Forlani for the final scene of his forthcoming movie Highbinders.

According to the 48-year-old star's Web site, Chan (right, with Forlani) said romantic scenes had previously been a no-no for him. 'I always have a girlfriend but no kissing - that's a Jackie Chan movie,' he said.

'But things are changing slowly. My fans are growing up with me. I'm an adult, and now slowly we have a love scene in my movies. Now, if they write a love scene, it's okay with me. But writers have got used to not writing a love scene for me.'

Still, Forlani seems to have enjoyed the moment. Chan told the press: 'She just grabbed me and said, 'Come on ? Jackie, touch me.' She really made me comfortable.'
