Here's one kiss Evan Peters will never forget.

During an appearance on Monday's Chelsea Lately to promote his highly anticipated movie X-Men: Days of Future Past, the 27-year-old actor recalled working with now-fiancée Emma Roberts on 2013's Adult World.

"I had a huge crush on her," Peters told host Chelsea Handler. "I tried to be cool and funny and flirt a little bit, but it didn't go over very well because I was just saying the wrong things, basically."

Peters then proceeded to give a "perfect example" of what he meant.

"There's a party scene at the end of the movie," he shared. "And the director's like, 'Evan, kiss Emma,' and it wasn't scripted and I got really awkward and really weird and forgot what to do, and then I kissed her."

Peters continued, "It was good, but it was super awkward and so I felt weird about it. So I was like, 'That was like kissing Cloris Leachman.' And she was super pissed off."

Ouch!

But in the end, of course, everything worked out between the two, which is not too terribly surprising considering Roberts herself told Handler recently, "I actually, on the set, was like, 'Oh yeah, we're totally gonna date.'"

Well there you go.
