Supermodel Bar Refaeli appeared on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno Wednesday night. When Leno asked her if they could recreate the kiss from her GoDaddy.com Super Bowl commercial, she agreed.
"Pucker up!" she said. But when Leno closed his eyes and leaned in for a kiss, Refaeli grabbed Jesse Heiman, who plays the nerd in the ad, and he locked lips with Leno instead.
"Now I feel like I'm not the only one," she said. Leno asked her what it was like to film the kiss, which Heiman revealed yesterday took dozens of takes to get right.

"I guess they liked it so much," she told Leno, as reported by E! Online, "they said 'We want a tighter shot. And a tighter shot. And a tighter shot.' I said, 'Couldn't you just bring different three cameras and go from all angles? Do I really need to do this 60 times?"
Jesse Heiman, on the other hand, didn't mind all the takes.
"All my dreams have come true," he told the New York Daily News. "It was like kissing paradise. Like kissing God's hands."
He wouldn't reveal how much he was paid for the commercial, but the Daily News's Don Kaplan reports that according to 'Madison avenue experts,' Heiman likely earned between $35,000 and $50,000 for the ad.
"I know the rumors online are that I was the one asking for more takes," Heiman told CNN, "but it was actually give-and-take---she was asking for more, too."
