A few years ago, Kirk Cameron would have had no problem with kissing Erin Bethea on the set of 'Fireproof,' nor any other woman on any other film set. Cameron has performed plenty of on-screen kisses in his younger year, and he's done so with glee. All of that has changed now, because he's found two things in his life. Firstly, he's found a wife, and secondly, he's found God. Because of a combination of the two, he can no longer kiss other people.
Luckily, Cameron's wife is also an actor - she's Chelsea Noble, who starred with him in 'Growing Pains.' When the script of 'Fireproof' called for him to kiss Bethea's character, they simply brought Noble in, put her in Bethea's clothes, and shot the kissing scene from behind so nobody could tell the difference. We have to tip our hat to the director for that idea - it's a novel way around the problem.
