CAMERON FINDS WAY AROUND SELF-IMPOSED KISSING BAN
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.
But 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 honouring our marriage.
"It's a personal commitment I have made to my wife."

Silly? No, it is not silly, just more respectful and honoring to his spouse
than perhaps... you, and others like you who do not cherish the oneness of
marriage. Some day you too may understand why he has this conviction.
Kirk Cameron didn't "force" producers to cast his wife for the 'kissing' scene
in FIREPROOF...the producers are pastors who are part of small band of
Christian film/video producers who hold to the same principle as Kirk to not
have married people kiss anyone who is not their spouse. Silly, i know, but
it's their conviction. Let it be.
