Celebrate International Kissing Day with Madonna, Michael Fassbender and David Beckham
W has never shied away from positioning celebrities in compromising and surprising images. In our February 2017 issue, actresses Ruth Negga and Natalie Portman, amongst others, were asked to pose in a near-kiss. "Trust us, it wasn’t easy to get 12 of the biggest stars on the planet to embrace, lie down together, and even kiss," wrote Editor in Chief Stefano Tonchi in his editor's letter. In honor of International Kissing Day, revisit some of the best make out sessions from the archives, including Madonna, Jessica Chastain, Lara Stone, Michael Fassbender, Ryan Gosling and more.
