So I sent this movie trailer to Bunny and Dame the other day, since their husbands are firefighters and all, and warned them that it looked like a total sapped out cry-fest, and they pretty much agreed that they won’t see it and that it overdramatizes the typical day-in-the-life of a firefighter, because while firefighters are heroic and save lives, they also spend a majority of their time hanging out in the firehouse and eating. This movie clip makes it look like there is a super dangerous fire-oriented situation, which the same firehouse has to respond to, approximately every 3 minutes.
ANYWAY, back to what I think is kind of adorable. So Kirk Cameron stars in this movie, and you might remember him from Growing Pains if you’re as old as I am, and you might also remember that he married his co-star on the show, that really pretty chick, Chelsea Noble, and they have been married for 17 years now and have 6 kids (4 of which are adopted). Kirk Cameron is also a big-time Christian and has an evangelical ministry and likes to talk about Jesus whenever even remotely possible. BUT LISTEN - because he takes his faith and his marriage vows so seriously, he refuses to kiss another woman, other than his wife, even when he is on the job acting (according to msnbc.com).
SO, for this movie, they apparently filmed any and all kissing scenes between him and his costar in silhouette, so that his ACTUAL wife could step in and it would still look like his onscreen wife.
Part of me thinks….wow, that’s kind of over the top. But then there’s this other part of me that thinks it’s TOTALLY PRECIOUS. If Mr. Mock was an actor, I know I’d have a hard time watching him make out or simulate relations of a sexual nature with someone else. I would imagine that we might have the following conversation:
ME: I can’t believe you made out with Salma Hayek.
Mr. Mock: Mock - it’s my JOB. It doesn’t mean anything. It’s just a role I’m playing.
ME: But you guys are totally into each other.
Mr. Mock: It just LOOKS that way, and I actually take that as a compliment, because it means I’m acting well.
ME: I’m going to go ahead and need you to be a worse actor then.
SALMA: Mock - your husband is SO HOT.
MOCK: (Punches Salma Hayek square in the face)
See, I just don’t see any possible way that it would work. I actually have NO IDEA how actors’ spouses manage this on a regular basis. Could you deal with that? Really. Be honest. And if you could, HOW could you? HOW?
Anyway, I think it’s kind of adorable that Kirk Cameron insisted on his wife standing in for all the kissy scenes. LOVE.
