Kevin Smith had no problem directing his wife Jennifer Schwalbach to kiss her male co-star in Kevin’s film Clerks II because the male co-star in question was just old friend Brian O’Halloran.

Kevin revealed: “If she’d been kissing Ben Affleck I’d have been a little nervous because with him, there’s a chance she’d think, ‘I could trade up.’”

“Her making out with O’Halloran? Safe as a kitten.”

Brian didn’t have a problem with shooting the scene either - especially because he also got to kiss Rosario Dawson in the sequel: “That was awesome. You know, you look at the shooting list and it says, ‘Make out with Kevin’s wife: one day. Make out with Rosario Dawson: that’s another day…’ It was a highlight.”
