In that specific instance, I might say yes (to random makeouts with fourth wall breaking crushes) depending on the crush and my mood and my relationship status. That's only because I like making out - a lot - and I am also down with having occasional completely casual and un-attatched makeouts with random people (if I were single). But a crush and openness to random makeouts is not the same thing to me as the potential or want for a relationship or any kind of meaningful connection.
To me a crush exists completely outside the context of a relationship or the real attraction that leads to that. It's like a crush is a dog and a relationship is a cat. They're both kinds of animals (affections) and can co-exist and interact but they're not the same things or connected and do not lead to each other in any way.
once you're attracted to someone's inside, you find things on the outside to appreciateThis is what I was trying to say, but you said it better

'thousands of salivating fans are watching my every move when I'm near my costar and imagining how we look mid-coitus.'
Ugh, the Supernatural and BBC!Sherlock fandoms are so bad for this, especially because of what you mentioned with the real world setting and costumes making the characters less visually distinct from their actors. So even perfectly fine and not creepy character shipping can randomly cross into rpf at any given second. I think it's safest to stick with gifs and screenshots from the actual show and art that depicts the character's essence over the actor's likeness. I saw this one Dean/Cas gifset that used gifs from other things the two actors had been in to portray a kind of altverse Dean & Cas in a white picket fence relationship and it was very close to crossing the line, maybe it actually did. I'm not sure. There's enough homoerotic subtext and ~moments~ in Supernatural to make gifsets from the show itself anyway.
