Sterling K. Brown Discusses His Wife’s Scene with Celebrity Crush Boris Kodjoe
Sterling K. Brown, known for his roles in acclaimed television series and films, recently shared an amusing anecdote about his wife, actress Ryan Michelle Bathe, and her experience filming a scene with her longtime celebrity crush, Boris Kodjoe. This revelation came during an appearance on the Sherri talk show, hosted by Sherri Shepherd.
The Scene That Sparked Intrigue
The situation stems from the 2007 movie All About Us, in which Bathe played a role opposite Kodjoe. During their early marriage, Brown posed a lighthearted question to his wife about her celebrity crush. Without hesitation, Bathe revealed, “Boris.” Within just a couple of months, she found herself filming alongside him.
A Call from Afar
While Brown was in Canada filming the series Supernatural, he reached out to Bathe to check on her film shoot. To his surprise, she revealed that the production had added a sex scene, prompting Brown to inquire further.
“She said, ‘Listen.’ They had a sex scene that they added into the [script],” Brown recalled. Attempting to keep the language suitable for daytime television, he jokingly expressed his concern about the intimate nature of the scene. Bathe assured him that she would manage the situation with the help of “Band-Aids.” Unfortunately, the practical application of the Band-Aids proved challenging.
Unexpected Complications
When Brown contacted Bathe again, she indicated that the scene had gone “really well.” However, she noted a complication arising from the environment during the shoot. “It was really humid in the room, and I had a tough time keeping the Band-Aids on,” she informed him.
Laughing off the situation afterward, Brown jested, “You just wanted naked breasts on Boris’ chest!” The lighthearted banter illustrates the couple’s chemistry and ability to navigate potentially awkward professional circumstances.
A Chance Encounter
In a serendipitous twist, Brown and Bathe encountered Kodjoe and his wife, Nicole Ari Parker, at an Oscars after-party. The couples humorously discussed the possibility of finding a joint project that would involve them all, demonstrating their camaraderie.
Current Projects
As for Brown’s latest role, he is currently starring in the Hulu series Paradise, adding further acclaim to his impressive portfolio.
