Noah Centineois looking back at his first on-screen kiss — and theJustin Bieber-like hair he sported for the occasion!
During an appearance onThe Late Late Show with James Cordenon Wednesday,The Recruitstar, 26, was seemingly surprisedwhen the host played a clipfeaturing his coming-of-age moment.
“No! No!” the actor said, laughing and looking embarrassed after Corden, 44, began playing the clip that producers had “tracked down.”
The lip lockdown happened in Centineo’s first movie, 2009’sThe Gold Retrieverswith his co-starCourtney Biggs, who gave him a quick peck while the two were sitting next to each another in a tree.
“So good! So good!” Corden enthused, before he added, “I love that hair. Centineo is sort of an early Bieber, earlyOne Direction.”
Centineo — whose luscious locks have won him legions of admirers for his roles in romantic comedies like Netflix’sTo All the Boys I’ve Loved BeforeandThe Perfect Date, and helped to earn him nickname the “Internet’s Boyfriend” — agreed with Corden’s sentiments.
“It’s actually crazy that you say that,” said the actor,who has previously spoken to Corden about his hair.
“I used to get recognized asJustin Bieberall the time,” he added, before telling a story about the time he was on a cruise and had “an army of people chasing after me thinking I wasJustin Bieber.”
“I just ran as fast as I could, and it wasn’t until the second day of the cruise that they realized I was a fraud,” he said.

Centineo previously spoke about his kissing scene inThe Gold Retrievers, revealing that it was an awkward moment because he had never kissed a girl before.
In an appearance on the YouTube seriesHot Onesin 2020, alongside hisTo All the Boysco-starLana Condor, he revealed the scintillating tidbit while sweating his way through the interview.
“I did a movie calledThe Gold Retrievers, I did it just beforeTurkles,” Centineo shared. “I was 11 years old and I hadn’t yet kissed a girl. I was on screen, up in a tree, and they were like, ‘Yeah, just kiss really quick!’ and I was like, ‘I’ve never kissed a girl.'”
