Jessica Chastain reacted to her viral video with Oscar Isaac at the Venice Film Festival.

Chastain, 44, laughed and said she "never, never," thought her arm would go viral after her "Scenes From a Marriage" co-star planted a kiss on her bicep on the red carpet at the Venice Film Festival. "My left arm is a bit jealous of my right!" she told Page Six.

Prior to her statement, she also shared a photo of Gomez Adams lovingly kissing Morticia Adams' arm on Twitter. "Sept 12th," she wrote in the caption with a smiling face with horns emoji.

Chastain is one of the brightest stars today. Aside from her movie with Isaac, she is also part of the American biographical drama film "The Eyes of Tammy Faye." The much-buzzed about film is tipped to score her an Oscar nomination.

"I just loved her," Chastain said about the evangelist and TV personality. Faye died of cancer at age 65 in 2007.

"I spent seven years studying her, watching every interview I could find and the more I learned about her the more I just loved her," she said on the red carpet of the film's New York premiere.

"She was so sweet and she never faltered in her message….it never faltered on who she was and what she stood for and she never judged anyone. She believed that everyone was deserving of God’s grace and that’s what I love the most," the actress added.

It took seven years to finish the biopic. Chastain confessed that she never lost hope in the film.

"I was really scared to play the part so towards the end when it was starting to become more real I was kind of like, 'It’s ok if it goes away, it’s ok if we don’t make it right away,'" she explained with a laugh.

"I was always thinking that would give me more time to work on it and prepare so I wasn’t impatient to play her because I really felt I needed as much time as I could. I knew it was a big undertaking."

"The Eyes of Tammy Faye" premiered at the 2021 Toronto International Film Festival on Sept. 12. It is slated for release on Sept. 17.
