Kirk Cameron’s new movie, “Fireproof,” called for him to kiss the actress playing his wife. But this was a huge problem, as Kirk will not kiss any woman, not his wife.
“I have a commitment not to kiss any other woman,” the former child star of “Growing Pains” told Hoda Kotb and Kathie Lee Gifford Monday on TODAY in New York.
So to get around this problem, they dressed his wife, actress Chelsea Noble, to look like the female lead character and shot the scene in silhouette.
“So when I’m kissing my wife, we’re actually husband and wife honoring marriage behind the scenes,” Cameron said as Gifford and Kotb melted from the romanticism of the moment.
Kirk Cameron became a Christian at the age of 17 while on the show “Growing Pains”, as character Mike Seaver. Chelsea Noble was his co-star and his girlfriend on the show.
The couple fell in love in real life and married in 1991, when Cameron was 20 and Noble was 26. Today the couple have six children ranging in age from 5 to 12, including four who were adopted.
Kirk Cameron began acting at a young age and began “Growing Pains” at the age of 14. As “Mike Seaver” on the show, Cameron would sometimes clash with cast members and the show’s producers over what he felt were immoral story lines.
Kirk Cameron says these days he chooses movies that he feels good about. Kirk Cameron’s newest movie “Fireproof,” he said, “is an action-packed love story. It’s about a firefighter. He’s on the brink of a divorce.”
Kirk says the movie mirrors his beliefs. “The reason this movie was important to me personally is because I love my wife dearly,” he said. “We’ve been married for 17 years … and we have six children. So marriage is a very special and sacred thing to us. In a day and age where marriage is falling apart, we want to make movies and projects that really uphold and have a high view of that which is beautiful and wonderful in our culture.”
In the Fireproof movie, Caleb Holt, is saved by his father, who gives him a book titled “Love Dare” that presents a challenge a day for 40 days designed to teach him how to love.
“He’s a kind of a jerk,” Cameron says of his character. “He’s a hero in his community … but his marriage is going up in flames.”
The love dare, he explained, “challenges him to do one thing every day that really exemplifies the true nature of love. Patience, kindness, gentleness.”
What began as a plot device in the movie has been turned into a real book. Cameron told Kotb and Gifford that there have been 500,000 pre-orders for the book, which has yet to be released.
“The ‘Love Dare’ book is really a kind of a plot device that turned into a treasure for husbands and wives,” he said. “What it does is it teaches you the essence of love. Don’t tell my wife, but I’m reading the book myself, and it’s really great.”
Cameron has an evangelical ministry called “The Way of the Master” with evangelist Ray Comfort, along with a camp for terminally ill children, Camp Firefly. He has starred in three movies adopted from the “Left Behind” books, a series of apocalyptic novels that is popular with fundamentalist Christians.
Kirk Cameron, unlike most child-stars, has kept his life in check, staying away from drug addictions.
“I realize now how challenging it was back then,” he told Vieira. “But when you’re growing up in a fishbowl, and that’s all you know, that’s normal to you. But when you look at a lot of child stars, you see the difficulty that it presented them. I’m thankful for my family, for good friends, and a strong faith in God that helped me navigate through a lot of that stuff.”
What do you guys think of Kirk Cameron? It’s kind of sweet to see someone strong in their beliefs, and so loyal to his wife, don’t you think?

He’s a phoney.
HYPOCRITES WANT TO BELIEVE FAIRY-TALES?
I think he is a positive role model and it’s good his life went (and appears to be going) well. He seems pleasant enough. At the same time, he tends to work only with evangelicals in promoting their anti-gay, anti-woman “our-way-or-the-highway” worldview for people’s lives and the nation’s laws, so, I choose not to support their art while respecting their right to make and sell it.
Personally, I think it is very exciting and uplifting to see someone (anyone!) in Hollywood who actually values their commitment and marriage vows. I mean, come on, how long does the normal marriage for ‘movie stars’ last? For most, not long. In fact, lots of them aren’t even married! And this is the example we set up for our kids? Sad. Kirk is being a good example of true love and devotion, and I am going to support him in this. Kirk Cameron, you rock!
P.S. He is not anti-woman, and neither is the show he co-hosts ( wayofthemasterradio.com ) I am a woman, and I enjoy ‘Way Of The Master’ very much.
With so many family’s torn apart, a divorce rate sky high and young men with no quality role models to emmulate this is a refreshing perspective. One woman to commit to. More men and woman should try it!
Why do people have to be so ugly? Can’t a man choose to honor his marriage without being called names? Is the idea of a man in love with his wife so threatening in an age of cheap hyper-sexualization? Is the world in so much better condition now than it was 60 years ago before the screens ruled the world morality?
No. It’s rotten, vice filled and mean, and there are those that see the Truth as Truth and stand for it. Opinion does not change Truth.
I think it’s important to note that this movie is not, nor is Kirk Cameron promoting anti-gay, anti-woman, “my way or the highway” attitudes, but is simply living by the truth in God’s Word. If you believe in any part of God’s Word, then read it. It is not about hate, but about dealing with the truth of sin. The Bible’s definition of sin, is much different than that of the worlds definition. God is a God of love and mercy, but He is also a just and holy God, and sin will not be ignored. Read God’s Word, and then state your opinion.
This movie is not promoting an our way or the high way worldview, it is promoting Truth. They aren’t anti things as much as they are pro-Truth. Truth goes beyound personal tastes and feelings. That is a good thing. What would our society be like if everyone lived by there feelings and personal beliefs rather than Truth. This Movie addesses Truth not personal taste and that’s what upsets people who want to live how they want without consequences.
I saw the movie last night and I thought it was excellent in every way!!
And when I saw that they kissed at the end, I immediately came home and googled “Kirk Cameron, Fireproof, Kiss” and got goosebumps when I realized that the woman he was actually kissing was his OWN WIFE. My respect for Kirk Cameron is off the chart. What a man of God and what a great role model for Hollywood.
I am 17 y.o. who hardly ever watches the movies that come out in the theaters or most of television. This is because a lot of it is so full of sexual references and immoral behavior that it isn’t healthy for me or my future husband to expose myself to it. Fireproof is one of the few things I can watch and not have to worry about if I’m going to be walking out of the room in a few minutes. I wish it wasn’t like this but that is the world we live in. I support Kirk Cameron and his wife 100% and I hope that more people will follow by their beautiful example.
Kirk, we’re proud of you!!! I think it shows so much character that Kirk takes a stand on what he believes. (I loved watching him take his computer outside and tear it up.) My husband mentioned that Kirk Cameron sure does cry well on film. I replied that his tears were probably reflecting what he really feels—how God has taken Kirk’s life and molded it into something that God can use, and how God can do that for all of those who will submit to Him.
I thought the movie was outstanding and so were all the actors. I recommend it for anyone to see!
I think he is awesome. To be married for 17 years and still that loyal to his wife. WOW!!!
My husband and I are going to see the movie today. I am thrilled that this is a movie that uplifts marriages, instead of the usual Hollywood movies that just show some married person having an affair.
What a great movie and what a man of integrity, NOT a fake or hypocrite!
It wasn’t Kirk Cameron that chose one way for salvation from sin and hell. It was God who created you. The chance that you could be wrong in your beliefs is surely enough to send you to search the Bible for answers. They’re there!
I think Kirk Cameron is a breath of fresh air. I don’t know why someone who is confident in who he is and is loyal to his family is a threat. He is a hero to me.
Great movie! It’s refreshing to see a movie so well done and at the same time upholding true values.
I thought the movie was fantastic, and I appreciate the fact that Kirk Cameron honors his marriage vows. That is so refreshing in a day and age where it’s no big deal to kiss or make out with an actor or actress on screen. My guess would be that’s why Kirk and Chelsea’s marriage is still good, don’t ya think?
Thank you Kirk!
We need more movies like “Fireproof”. I think the fact that Kirk Cameron has that much respect for his wife makes him even more of man to me. You rock Kirk!
My husband and I just watched the movie yesterday. We both thought it was awesome! Thank you so much for making a movie like this that could help marriages and couples going into marriages. We are going to tell a lot of people about this wonderful movie. Ut’s truly one of the best movies I’ve seen in years!
Kirk Cameron has good values IF you believe as he does. Anyone who believes different gets no respect from him. Plus, he’s a bore!
