Adam Levine has reminisced on working with late actress Kelly Preston for Maroon 5’s She Will Be Loved music video.
It was revealed in July that Kelly, 57, died in her home with husband John Travolta by her side, after secretly battling with breast cancer for two years.
And Adam recalled the experience of filming together during an interview on SiriusXM’s The Howard Stern Show on Wednesday.
The video saw Adam’s character initially dating a girl closer to his age before he ended up developing feelings for her parent (played by Kelly).
Adam said of the 2009 video: ‘It’s very Graduate-ity, very Graduate. That was the whole vibe. That is what I was trying to go for.’
He continued: ‘When we sat there and I first met her, she was super cool.
‘I remember I was nervous because not only had I not kissed a person I didn’t know before that was definitely older than me and who I definitely for sure 100 percent even remember specifically doing s–t to back in the day…Now I’m in the f–king room with this person and I can’t believe it.’
The former Voice coach added: ‘She was cool. She made me feel comfortable… Right as we do it, I just kiss her, kiss her.

Adam continued: ‘I go into kiss her and she’s like, “Woah! Woah! Woah! Woah! Oh cowboy. You don’t use the tongue.”‘
