IIRC, he recently made a movie where he refused to kiss the woman playing his wife – because he’s so anal, he believes that he’s cheating when he kisses another woman when he’s _acting_. WTF??? ---

> [@Guinastasia](#): > > IIRC, he recently made a movie where he refused to kiss the woman playing his wife – because he’s so anal, he believes that he’s cheating when he kisses another woman when he’s _acting_. WTF??? I heard that too. IIRC, for the movie they had to put his wife in a wig and have be a kiss double for the other actress. Also apparantly both he and his wife(who’s also an actress) refuse to ever take their wedding rings off. The worst though, is that while on Family Ties, after he became born again, he forced the show to fire the actress playing his girlfriend because a few years earlier she’d posed for playboy. ---

I don’t remember anyone from FT going all fundy. That article from “The Friendly Atheist” (cool site, btw), mentions it, too. ---

Kirk Cameron’s wife was (is) the most beautiful of all the beauties to ever do their 1-episode stint on _Seinfeld_. Therefore, I have no problem whatsoever with Kirk Cameron. ---
