Obviously stunt nipples will be needed for the film and TV versions.

This is the most brilliant thing I’ve ever read. Can I please use it in a script I’m writing?

If you must suck nourishment at the creative teat of Kirk Cameron… well try not to gag too much. :eek:

If he did, it was never on camera. That was the Aloha episode. In one scene, his shirt was unbuttoned to about the middle, but he held onto the split when the wind blew.

**Liberal** , my friend. Your expertise on this subject is troubling.

That is all.

(no, I will not participate in the search…eh, maybe just a little. Damn competitiveness.)

It struck me upon reading this thread that Liberal’s actual motivation is to demonstrate the difficulty of proving a negative, but I remember that he’s on the other side of the argument. So, I take him at his work that he just wants to know the answer.

I do have a vague memory, back in the 80’s, seeing Kirk sitting in an inner tube at a water park wearing nothing but a bathing suit. I think this was a promo for Growing Pains. But that’s all I have, a vague memory, and if such a scene actually existed, it would have been found by now. I’ve done the obligatory Google search and found nothing.

Well, there’ve been more than three thousand views and no definitive answer. I guess even Cecil himself wouldn’t be able to answer this one.

I knew Cameron was fucked up, but he named his nipples “truth” and “justice”? Which one is which?

I thought I was onto something earlier. The “Growing Pains” cast participated in a “Battle of the Network Stars” ripoff called “Star Games.” I distinctly remember that they participated because I recall being outraged that they brought in a ringer (some guy who’d played Carol’s boyfriend in two episodes). Since this would have involved water-based events (swimming and kayaking) chances are good that Kirk would have been taped sans shirt for one of them.

Alas, IMDB does not list this among his credits and the listing for [The Star Games](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0088614/) is woefully incomplete. I suspect Cameron has used his power and influence to suppress the show.

At least you’ve uncovered something new, Otto! I hadn’t heard of that one, and it wasn’t discussed in the old thread. I wouldn’t be surprised, though, if he wore a wetsuit or something.

Short of any private family photos, there are no public shirtless photos of Kirk Cameron. And contrary to any of the popular answers on the web, it has nothing to do with his Christianity. Although he was obviously in great shape, in his autobiography “Still Growing” Kirk talks about being self-conscious about Pectus Excavatum a condition in which the “breast bone” (sternum) appears sunken and the chest concave. It is sometimes called "funnel chest. So the most that is out there are sleeveless shirt photos revealing arms that depending on his age range from toned to muscular, the result of what he recalls in the book as “working out a minimum of 2 hours a day”

We used to call that “Pirate’s Delight” (a sunken chest). Here’s a pic of an [extreme condition](http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l7uv3wK5po1qciwy5o1_250.jpg).

I’m trying to decide if Zombie Kirk Cameron would be more or less annoying than real Kirk Cameron. “Bannnnannnas… bannnannnas…”.

Like you can talk. That’s how we ALL got here!

And now we can never leave… DAMN YOU KIRK CAMERON’S NIPPPLES!!! DAMN YOU TO HELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!  
Speaking of: I was listening to Eric Kripke, writer and producer on the audio commentary of an episode of _Supernatural_ and he said when they were casting either Sam or Dean they considered offering it to Kirk Cameron. I initially assumed he was joking but now I’m wondering- I could almost see it. If I were an exec at CW I’d totally offer him $1 million to play the Nipple Demon Master of All Darkness in the final episode ($2 million if he’d go shirtless and wear goat leggings).

I heard he was shirtless in the film _[Left Behind](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0190524/)_ but I’ve never seen the film. Can anyone confirm or refute this?
