Kirk Cameron from the Movie “Fireproof"

KC: Well, there’s a great scene in the movie, a very touching and romantic scene in the movie and it gets to a point where you're just waiting for Caleb to kiss his wife, and if he didn’t you’d want to smack him. So, it was a great part and addition to the story and yeah, I’ll kiss my wife, but I won’t kiss any other women regardless of the fact that I‘m an actor. So, I asked my wife if she’d do this new scene. The scene was actually added into the script it wasn’t originally there. She came to the set, dressed in the actresses’ clothes and we shot the scene in silhouette so, the romantic scene is really my wife Chelsea and me. It really gave us an opportunity to do a movie about honoring marriage above all things and to be able to honor my marriage personally.

Have you missed out on certain jobs because of the courage you’ve had stand up for what you believe in?

KC: I haven’t had tons of offers to say no to, but the ones that came my way that went against what I believe, yes, I’ve said no. I’m quite sure others have convictions and things that are important to them. If you a chance to do something that was gonna hurt your kids or hurt your mom or your dad. You have to say, “I’ll wait until the next one.”

SIDE NOTE: Kirk actually stopped and said that he’d like for us to stress this perspective specifically because he knows that there are people out there who believe this same way so he feels it’s good for them to know how he feels and it also adds a special twinkle on the movie.

Was it tough for Chelsea to see you in this role?

KC: You’d have to ask her. However, I think it would have been tough if we did not honor our marraige the way that we do and the way that we did while I worked on the movie. I guess it’s a little strange and a little weird. But we felt it important to put the values in a movie and not just a low quality independent film. It’s a real movie with a great story. People are going to laugh and cry and feel as if they connect with the material.
