Milo Ventimiglia Was Terrified By His First Kiss

Why couldn’t it have been with Us? Long before Milo Ventimiglia was locking lips with Mandy Moore on This Is Us, he shared an adorable first kiss back in high school with one very lucky lady.

The actor, 39, reflected on the special moment during an interview with W Magazine, which published on Wednesday, June 28. “I was a freshman in high school. I remember something just turned in me. It might have been a friend of mine who was older than me who liked this girl, but he was kind of picking on her,” explained the Heroes alum. “He’s like, ‘Well, you should just kiss Milo.’ And I was literally, ‘Huh?’”

The This Is Us star, who is now dating Kelly Egarian, noted that the smooch happened at his friend’s house with a “beautiful girl” named Michelle. “I remember she walked up and grabbed me, and pulled me in and kissed me. And I couldn’t leave the couch after that,” he gushed.
