I remember Sam Raimi giving me a book of famous kisses to be inspired but also he really wanted to make it special even though it was kind of miserable actually doing it, she revealed in this Saturdays episode, the Independent reported . 

It was pouring with rain, freezing, Tobey couldnt breathe so it was almost like I was resuscitating him, Dunst added. 

Maguire also admitted the steamy scene wasnt achieved without its challenges while speaking with Entertainment Tonight in 2002. 

I couldnt breathe. Rain was pouring up my nose and then she was kissing me, Maguire told the outlet at the time. I couldnt breathe out of my mouth and I had to hold my breath while I was kissing her.

The conditions werent as sexy and sweet and romantic as it came off, he added.
