\"\"<\/a>
My interview<\/a> with Kirk Cameron, who stars in the Left Behind<\/a><\/i> films and the upcoming Fireproof<\/a><\/i>, is now up at CT Movies.<\/span><\/p>\n

One thing that did not come up in our conversation was the bit in his autobiography<\/a> where he talks about how he refuses to kiss any actress except for his wife, Chelsea Noble, and how he always keeps his wedding ring on, even if the character he is playing is single and he has to hide the ring under a flesh-coloured bandage or something.<\/p>\n

I have to admit that a part of me is kind of amused that he goes to those sorts of extremes, but a part of me also respects him for it. I mean, I played with my own wedding ring for the first week or two after I got married, but except for one time when it slipped and fell into my lap, the ring never left my hands, and since the honeymoon itself, the ring has never left my finger \u2014 and I frankly hope it never does. So if I am amused by Cameron\u2019s dedication on this point, it is only in the most appreciative way possible.<\/p>\n

And because nit-picking is something of a hobby for me, I can\u2019t resist noting that, when I saw Fireproof<\/i> a second time, after<\/i> I had read Cameron\u2019s book and done the interview with him, I noticed at least one scene in which he does<\/i> seem to take his ring off \u2014 even if it was<\/i> for a scene in which a doctor tends to his character\u2019s hand, and the ring stays on a table right there in the room with him:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

As for the kissing thing, if you can handle a spoiler that probably isn\u2019t much of a spoiler anyway, Cameron recently told WENN<\/a> about a scene in the film in which the two main characters kiss, and how the scene was shot in silhouette so that Cameron\u2019s real-life wife could take the place of the actress playing his character\u2019s wife, just for that one shot.<\/p>\n

I would<\/i> post a screen cap of that scene, too, but like I say, it might be a little more spoiler-ish. So for now, I won\u2019t.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
