Ted 2 Trailer_ by [Jessica Derschowitz / Entertainment Weekly](https://time.com/author/entertainment-weekly/) ## Jessica Derschowitz / Entertainment Weekly Jun 24, 2015 7:48 PM UTC Ted 2 Trailer by [Jessica Derschowitz / Entertainment Weekly](https://time.com/author/entertainment-weekly/) ## Jessica Derschowitz / Entertainment Weekly Jun 24, 2015 7:48 PM UTC If you’ve ever wondered what it might be like to kiss Marky Mark, Amanda Seyfried just knocked those expectations down a notch. The actress and Mark Wahlberg lock lips in _Ted 2_, and while promoting the film Wednesday [on the _Today_ show](http://www.today.com/popculture/amanda-seyfried-teds-mark-wahlberg-he-stole-my-dog-t28401) Seyfried ranked her co-star’s skills in that department with a definitive “eh.” The unenthused reaction was likely in jest – Matt Lauer asked Seyfried about Wahlberg’s kissing prowess as a chance for “revenge” after she shared story about the actor stealing her dog. “I was messing around with him. I shouldn’t have been — little pranks here and there,” she said. “He took it to the next level. Really smart guy, he took my dog, and he hid him.” “I panicked, because I didn’t think that that was possible,” she added. “The truth is I cried so hard, he was like, ‘Ah, you know what? I feel bad for this girl.’” _Ted 2_ opens in theaters Friday.
