However, as Shields now explains in this same interview with the New York magazine, it was not until the last moment that it was decided to include the licking scene.

“We had done it in rehearsal and they said, 'He's too crazy.

Do not do it'.

But I asked to do it.

'It's so fun.

It just makes her even crazier.

And she's pretty, so she needs to be really crazy.'

And they said, 'No, no.'

We did the first take and it was good.

And then on the second take, they yelled at me, 'Shields!

Do it again!'

The next day,

They asked me if I wanted to do my own television show”, he recalls.

After that television moment, Brooke was offered to star in

, and almost ended her courtship with Agassi.

The estrangement due to their respective jobs and Agassi's confession of his addiction to methamphetamine since 1993 – the same year they began their courtship – were the final blow to their relationship.

“During the next two years we saw each other very little.

I was working on the series

and he was playing in various tournaments.

I ignored me when he lost and when he won he went straight to the next championship.

Each time we were distancing ourselves more and more, ”he wrote in his memoirs.

Despite the fact that Shields was the one who made the decision for that divorce, it was not easy for the interpreter to take the step.

“That was the first time in my life that I said: 'I don't want to live like this, this doesn't make me happy.

He is a great person, but I'm leaving, ”she confessed in an interview with

in June 2022.

"Already with the divorce from my first husband [Agassi], I realized that I wanted my life to be different, but I must say that only in the last 10 years have I started to say: 'Well, this is me and I don't want to be something else”, added the actress in the same interview.

Two years after the separation, Agassi would marry fellow tennis player Steffi Graf and Shields would marry screenwriter Chris Henchy.

Both marriages continue.
