Back in the day, 17-year old Kirk Cameron infamously attempted to intimidate writers into reworking his “Growing Pains” character after hitting the evangelical crazy train, and he even went so far as to call label these television writers, along with the ABC television network, as “pornographers.” Two decades later, Kirk shows that he stlll has what it takes to suck the fun out of anything, including what most actors certainly wouldn’t mind too much, that is, getting paid to get his mack on with someone other than his own wife:

Christian actor Kirk Cameron forced movie bosses to cast his wife Chelsea as a smooching stand-in for his new film Fireproof, because he refused to kiss his onscreen wife.

In the movie, Cameron plays a firefighter battling to save his marriage to his wife, played by Erin Bethea. However the 37 year old had made a vow to Chelsea – his wife of 17 years and the mother of his six children – that he would never kiss another woman on or off-screen, so she was brought onto the set for a romantic scene.

Cameron, a partner in evangelical Christian ministry The Way of the Master, explains, “In Fireproof, there is a romantic and touching scene where he (character) kisses his wife. Because I have a commitment not to kiss any other woman, my wife Chelsea came in to the set and wore the dress my character’s wife wore. We shot the scene in silhouette, so when I kiss my wife, I’m actually kissing my wife and honoring our marriage. It’s a personal commitment I have made to my wife.”

Well, Kirk, if you can’t handle what an acting role requires of a character, perhaps you should go do something more mundane, such as a ministerial position or a regular, everyday sort of office job. Then again, you’d probably find yourself banging your secretary on top of a conference room table or something. You know, because you’re so wild and unpredictable like that.
